[asterisk-gui] Incoming call rules destination question

[Ron Byer]

  Hello,

First off, I've been advised by other list members that this is working 
for them, so I have the task of updating to the latest SVN version and 
trying it again.

That being said, here is the additional info that I neglected the first 
time around:

-Go into the ICR screen, and create a new rule. Specify the trunk, 
pattern, and timeframe as desired. for Destination, select the last 
option in the dropdown called "local Extension by DID".
- AN additional screen field then appears with the label "Local 
Extension by DID pattern : $EXTEN{, followed by the entry field, and 
then following with a "}".

So, my use of this was that if I have customers that like to number 
their extensions to match the last 4 digits of their DID's, this would 
be perfect for implementing that mapping. My ICR pattern would be 
"_123456XXXX", and the $EXTEN pattern I would enter into the "Local 
Extension by DID Pattern"  would -4:4

Right now, if I have 20 extensions that follow this model, I have to 
create 20 ICR's. This feature would reduce it to 1 ICR.

What would I expect to see in the extensions.conf?
Something like:
exten = _1123456XXXX,1,Goto(default,${EXTEN:-4:4},1)

I don't see any red outline or error messages on the screen. Just 
doublechecked.

As indicated above, I will update to the latest SVN and report back as 
to whether it works. I probably won't get to that for about a week, 
however.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to the list.
