Determine Valid Phone Numbers for a Broadcast Job
$phone_mask action mask [output-string]
The $phone_mask commands in user job properties are treated as an extension of the $phone_mask commands in the configuration file, and are applied to any phone number not rejected by the configuration file masks. Note that the 'decline' action (~) cannot be used on this command because a line will already have been selected.
The parameters on this command are used as follows:
| action | determines restriction or processing. You can specify either the code letter or the keyword: |
| c | convert | convert phone numbers matched to mask, using output-string, for further phone-mask processing. |
| + | accept | accept phone number. |
| - | reject | reject phone number. |
| mask | pattern used to match the phone number as follows: |
| (0 .. 9) | match actual digits entered by caller |
| X | match any digit of supplied phone number |
| * | match all remaining digits of supplied phone number (only valid at end of mask). |
| output-string | pattern used to convert phone number, as follows: |
| (0 .. 9) | digits to be used in next match |
| X | digit of supplied phone number |
| * | (at end, with a * at the end of mask) remaining digits of supplied phone number (otherwise * is dialed) |
The output-string parameter is required on convert commands; it must not be specified on reject commands.
Default: number accepted provided it passes the $phone_mask checks specified in the configuration file
Example:
$phone_mask convert XXXXXXX 630XXXXXXX
$phone_mask - 630XXXXXXX ; no calls to 630 area
