Here is an example of the "old" parser syntax differing from the new.

The "|" is an operator in the expr parser syntax, stands for "or". If you meant for 
it to be part of the search pattern, enclose the search pattern in double 
quotes.

The way you wrote it, of course the expression returns true:

${CALLERIDNUM} : 3091 

returns FALSE, in this case.

(or 0, to be exact)...

and 

0 | 3144

returns 1, because the "OR" operator works that way.

Hope this helps.
