[asterisk-users] an easy way to deal with/without leading "1" ?

[M Hulber]

You've had some good suggestions so far but honestly the brute force 
method is not that difficult.  I have been in the process of trying to 
make my dialplan more concise (fewer statements) but haven't tried to do 
anything about this one:

; Toll-Free
exten => _1800NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1866NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1877NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1880NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1881NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1882NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})
exten => _1888NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,${EXTEN})

exten => _800NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _866NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _877NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _880NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _881NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _882NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
exten => _888NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dial-avail-tf,1${EXTEN})
