According to your regexp: "^SLG[0-9]+", there is not space in between SLG and the number. Shouldn't it be: "^SLG [0-9]+"? (with a space).

I am using 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 Server. I am trying to set up an SMS gateway, which will connect to smsc using SMPP. before actually connecting to the smsc, I am testing locally, using fakesmsc. The problem I am having is that the keyword-regex variable does not seem to be working as documented. specifically : the SMS message I am trying to match looks like this : SLGxxxxxxxxxxxxx (no spaces at all, a single string) This configuration seems to work, although there is no <SLG> word in the message, assuming that "word" implies space-delimiters: group = sms-service name = SLG keyword = SLG text = "Hi there,SLG" catch-all = true although it shouldn't work, IMHO! (it should work for <SLG 123>, but not for <SLG123>, yet it does) this configuration, which is the one I want, does not work at all: group = sms-service name = SLG keyword-regex = "^SLG[0-9]+" text = "Hi there,SLG" catch-all = true according to my understanding of regular expressions, this should match SLG123, and NOT match SLGAAAA. it actually matches NOTHING. Could you please explain why, and, in general, how can I match a message that STARTS with a pattern, but does NOT contain any word delimiters ? Mike
