[Freeswitch-users] Dialplan XML phone number match

[Lars Zeb]

The users entering numbers into their phonebooks are able to recognize the
number more easily.

 

I will tell them to forget it and make the phone numbers numeric only.

I have a match expression for outbound calls as "\d{10}". It's fine for
unformatted numbers. Not knowing any better, I created another extension to
handle numbers formatted like XXX-XXX-XXXX, which is easier to read and
exists in one hard phone's phonebook.

 

It looks like: "^1?(\d{3})-(\d{3})-(\d{4})$". But I can see making many
extensions for different formats.


Out of curiosity, what benefit does having all these formats get you?
