Eric, Thanks; of course, this is also an option. However, setting up a separate context for this type of thing with several identical Goto statements also strikes me as inelegant, even if it is less so.

(Something similar to regular expressions' {}) Here's an example: let's say I have a string of things that need to be done for both extensions 233 and 255. I can either... A) Repeat the exact same code for both extensions, like so: exten => 233,1,DoStuff() exten => 233,n,AndMoreStuff() exten => 233,n,Dial(something) exten => 255,1,DoStuff() exten => 255,n,AndMoreStuff() exten => 255,n,Dial(something) ...which is stupid, or... B) I can attempt code reuse for similar cases (a Good Thing[tm]), and make as specific of a match as possible, like so: exten => _2[35][35],1,DoStuff() exten => _2[35][35],n,AndMoreStuff() exten => _2[35][35],n,Dial(something) ...but this will not only match 233 and 255, but 235 and 253 as well. It'd be nice if there was a substitute character that meant "a character that is exactly the same as the preceding one"; for example, if R was meant to represent such a concept, then this would do what I want: exten => _2[35]R,1,DoStuff() exten => _2[35]R,n,AndMoreStuff() exten => _2[35]R,n,Dial(something) You could even do crazy things like chain them together (this would match 23333 and 25555 and nothing else); exten => _2[35]RRR,1,DoStuff() exten => _2[35]RRR,n,AndMoreStuff() exten => _2[35]RRR,n,Dial(something) Am I missing something or does this really not exist?
