[asterisk-users] Can Asterisk match a literal * in extensions.conf
I am working on getting freenum.org ISN/ITAD numbers integrated into my exiting dialplan however I am having trouble getting the extension matches to work as expected. I would like to be able to do something like: exten = _X.*.,1,Macro(isn-outbound...) Where I would expect that any extension that starts with at least one number, but includes a literal * followed by 1 or more numbers would match. This is not the case, and it matches any extension that starts with a number. Thank you in advance for your assistance. -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

I don't think * means anything special to A*k, But wouldn't it be: _X.*X. To match as you ask ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Can Asterisk match a literal * in extensions.conf
i just met the same problem. i want to match extension that end with a number, but can not find a way. i also found that _.X match all extension, but won't match any caller-id number in dialplan. maybe it is a bug. but it seems not important since _.X is useless anyway. 2007/9/15, Tilghman Lesher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Friday 14 September 2007 11:39:40 Anthony Messina wrote: I am working on getting freenum.org ISN/ITAD numbers integrated into my exiting dialplan however I am having trouble getting the extension matches to work as expected.

Well, you can have some 10 or so patterns (how long can the number
before be), with X, as X means one digit..
For example:
exten = _X*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _XX*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _XXX*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _X*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _XX*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _XXX*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _X*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)
exten = _XX*.,1,Goto(default-wildcard|${EXTEN}|1)

exten = _X.,1,Macro(whatever)

People are spoiled by regex's, and they want to able to make a match vs.
something I call trailing context. What they don't realize is that
such
matches take (possibly) large amounts of time to complete, because they
loop
or are recursive, depending on the implementation.
Thus, a regex like X+\* (which would mean 1 or more X's followed by
an asterisk. would expand out to the 10 (actually perhaps many more)
lines above-- and run (unexpectedly) slower.
The trouble is, the pattern matcher wouldn't know how long an
expression
like X+\* should be, and could generate hundreds of entries. (if the
pattern
length is limited to 256 chars, say).
It is far better to explode out the entries yourself, as you outlined
above.
You know the max size of incoming stream

excellent sir! thank you! actually, since i'm using this for testing
ISN/ITAD, which currently only has ITAD domains with 3 digits i used:
exten = _XXX*XXX,1,Macro(isn,${EXTEN})
exten = _*XXX,1,Macro(isn,${EXTEN})
exten = _X*XXX,1,Macro(isn,${EXTEN})
(i use the macro to set callerid, etc)
would _XXX*XXX be slower to match than _XXX*. since the . ignores everything
after it as posted by another user?
again, thanks. -a
