Hi List, I know this a little outside asterisk but I couldn't resist. I wrote just a little perl toy I wrote to find words in existing phone numbers. For example, using the script on Digium's toll free line, you discover that it can be 877-LINUX-ME but also 8775-GNU-WOE or 8775-HOT-ZOE ;-) Here's the output: [jhiver@fly jhiver]$ perl detect-strings.pl 8775468963 GNU (468) matches 8775468963 GO (46) matches 8775468963 GOT (468) matches 8775468963 HOT (468) matches 8775468963 IN (46) matches 8775468963 IO (46) matches 8775468963 JIM (546) matches 8775468963 KIM (546) matches 8775468963 KIN (546) matches 8775468963 LIN (546) matches 8775468963 LINT (5468) matches 8775468963 LINUX (54689) matches 8775468963 ME (63) matches 8775468963 MU (68) matches 8775468963 MUZO (6896) matches 8775468963 NU (68) matches 8775468963 OF (63) matches 8775468963 SKI (754) matches 8775468963 SKIM (7546) matches 8775468963 SKIN (7546) matches 8775468963 SLIM (7546) matches 8775468963 SPLINT (775468) matches 8775468963 TWO (896) matches 8775468963 UP (87) matches 8775468963 US (87) matches 8775468963 WOE (963) matches 8775468963 ZOE (963) matches 8775468963 Regards, Jean-Michel. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
