[asterisk-users] Can Asterisk match a literal "*" in extensions.conf

[Adrian Marsh]

I don't think * means anything special to A*k,
But wouldn't it be:

_X.*X.

To match as you ask ?

(number)(wildcard)*(number)(wildcard)

Subject: [asterisk-users] Can Asterisk match a literal "*" in
extensions.conf

I am working on getting freenum.org ISN/ITAD numbers integrated into my 
exiting dialplan however I am having trouble getting the extension
matches to 
work "as expected."

I would like to be able to do something like:
exten => _X.*.,1,Macro(isn-outbound...)

Where I would expect that any extension that starts with at least one
number, 
but includes a literal "*" followed by 1 or more numbers would match.

This is not the case, and it matches any extension that starts with a
number.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
