[Asterisk-Users] Extensions.conf sugestion?

[Steven Critchfield]

My guess is either you have started to develop with a bad idea of how to
represent the data, or you don't understand asterisk that well.

Inside the context you have exten => (EXTENSION),(PRIORITY),(APPLICATION) 
If you followed that, then you should know what to use to tag the
extensions.

Or worse case scenario, since you are writing a config script that
probably will not be able to keep comments in the config after a change
is made, why not use that to your benefit by placing tags before each
extension block and that way you know when you run across a comment
line, it is a tag for your app.
