asterisk users - Apr 2006 - regexp in gotoif

Hello!

this is a short one: in a gotoif-statement i would like to match a
variable to a number, where the number could have digits from 2-6.
asterisk only seems to be capable to match such a digit-range when used
in the extension, but not in a regexp, at least the following query
doesn't work:


exten => _X.,1,GotoIf($[${EXTEN} : 234[2-6]]?jump:)


obviously asterisk has a problem with this since it parses the brackets
differently, i've also tried to do it like:


exten => _X.,1,GotoIf($[${EXTEN} : 234\[2-6\]]?jump:)


but of course this didn't work(was a desperate try anyways).

is there a way to match a range like it is possible with unix regexps
(a-zA-Z1-9)?

thanks for your replies!

works with function regexp ->
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk%20func%20regex

e.g.:

GotoIf($[${REGEX("2-6" ${EXTEN:0:1})}]?jump:)

should retrun 1 if $EXTEN begins with 2,3,4,5 or 6...
