There is nothing preventing alphanumeric extensions at least in the old matching algorithm - the only annoyance is the need to 'escape' some characters ( _ N Z X / come to mind ) as [N] [Z] etc. to override their special meaning on asterisk patterns. But then, this is trivial to overcome by providing an alternative syntax for extensions (and supporting both in parallel is easy) and besides all regexp implementations have their own special characters. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
