In extension.conf i read this: ; ! - wildcard, causes the matching process to complete as soon as ; it can unambiguously determine that no other matches are possible I tried to define: exten => _50,1,Dial(...) exten => _5!,1,Dial(...) If i dial 50, due to asterisk reordering _5! is exectued but in the comment above it says ! is matchaed only if unambiguous... so what's wrong with my test? Thanks in advance Mario
