Look at the GotoIf statement for example

exten => _9X.,1,GotoIf($["${EXTEN:1:2}" = "00"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n,GotoIf($["${EXTEN:1:2}" = "08"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n,GotoIf($["${EXTEN:1:2}" = "06"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n,GotoIf($["${EXTEN:1:1}" = "3"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n,GotoIf($["${EXTEN:1:1}" = "1"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n,GotoIf($["${TMP:0:2}" != "OK"]?ft)
exten => _9X.,n, ...
exten => _9X.,n(ft),  ...
