Hi I am trying to add my dial plan and I did the following: [ $var(dp_local) = "^sip:9.{3}@"; if(uri=~$var(dp_local)) { ... act as a local call } ] I am getting a syntax error because the sip parser expect to get a string . I do not want to use hard-code string. Is there a way to do what I want? Best regards Eli
