Re: OT: Voice Gateway Dial-Peer

Thanks Mark. So, the period special character in CME does not necessarily
match "a single digit". Seems like it matches "one or more digits" is that
correct? That seems to be the general consensus I have heard over the last
few days from everybody I have bothered :)

Example - If my theory is correct that would mean 4... would match 4000
but it would also match 4123456789 because period represents 1 or MORE of
any digit. Still seems weird to me coming from a background mostly with
regular expressions where . only matches exactly one character, whereas .*
would match 0 or more characters and .+ would match 1 or more characters.
