[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk RealTime Question, Please help

[mkumar at mantragroup.com]

Hi Benchev,

Thanks for the reply.

My current setup is exactly similar to which you have suggested. My DID 
numbers
are added or changed very frequently and all the time I have to change some
config file manually and should reload Asterisk or atleast call Extensions
reload. I do want these things to be manual, Can't I have the Asterisk to
directly get the contexts from Mysql DB without giving them in config 
files? If
this is possible then we can have a realtime dynamic Asterisk.

The other approcah can be to match the context itself with some regular
expression. But I do not know how do this or whether this is possible? I will
have a context something like this

[XXXXXXXXXX]
switch => Realtime/@extensions

So all contexts will be directed to Mysql DB matching regex but 
[XXXXXXXXXX] is
not acting as regex as expected it just matches context XXXXXXXXXX.

Please tell me what can I do to solve my problem.

Thanks for your help and time,
Manoj.
