Creating Dial Plan

Regular expression, often called a pattern, is an expression that specifies a set of strings.
A regular expression provides a concise and flexible means to "match" (specify and
recognize) strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters.
Regular expression is used by many text editors, utilities, and programming languages to
search and manipulate text based on patterns.
Regular expression can be used to define IP phone dial plan. Dial plan is a string of
characters that governs the way for IP phones processing the inputs received from the
IP phone keypads. IP phones support the following dial plan features:
Replace Rule

Dial-now

Area Code

Block Out

You need to know the following basic regular expression syntax when creating dial
plan:
The dot "." can be used as a placeholder or multiple placeholders
for any string. Example:
.
"12." would match "123", "1234", "12345", "12abc", etc.
The "x" can be used as a placeholder for any character. Example:
x
"12x" would match "121", "122", "123", "12a", etc.
The dash "-" can be used to match a range of characters within the
brackets. Example:
-
"[5-7]" would match the number "5", "6" or "7".
The comma "," can be used as a separator within the bracket.
Example:
,
"[2,5,8]" would match the number "2", "5" or "8".
The square bracket "[]" can be used as a placeholder for a single
character which matches any of a set of characters. Example:
[]
"91[5-7]1234"would match "9151234", "9161234", "9171234".
The parenthesis "( )" can be used to group together patterns, for
instance, to logically combine two or more patterns. Example:
()
"([1-9])([2-7])3" would match "923", "153", "673", etc.
The "$" followed by the sequence number of a parenthesis means
the characters placed in the parenthesis. The sequence number
$
stands for the corresponding parenthesis. Example:
A replace rule configuration, Prefix: "001(xxx)45(xx)", Replace:
