>From the users manual: Example 4: sms-service-configuration
Please note that there are a mandatory keyword and an optional keyword-regex fields. That means that service selection can be simplified as in the following example. Suppose that some Web-content should be delivered to the mobile. Different costumers use the same service but they rely on different keywords. Whenever a sms-service is requested, Kannel first checks whether a regex has been defined, if not a literal match based on keyword is performed. If a regex is configured then the literal match is never tried. group=sms-service ... keyword=web_service keyword-regex=^(data|www|text|net)$ get-url=http://someserver.net/getContent.jsp ... Here it says that keyword is mandatory, even if it won't be evaluated because you have a keyword-regex. So in your case, your sms-service group could be: group = sms-service name = SLG keyword = SLG keyword-regex = "^SLG[0-9]+$" text = "Hi there,SLG %a %b" catch-all = true What happens if you use this config? == Rene -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@kannel.org [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] On Behalf Of Cariotoglou Mike Sent: Thursday, 26 August, 2010 00:23 To: Nikos Balkanas; users@kannel.org Subject: RE: Problem with Regular Expressions ok, here it is : -----BEGIN CONF---- # # Sample configuration file for Kannel bearerbox on Debian. # See the documentation for explanations of fields. # # HTTP administration is disabled by default.
