FreeSWITCH 1.8

In this example we need to match a called number beginning with 00, but we also need to strip the leading digits. Assuming that FreeSWITCH receives the number 00123456789 and we need to strip the leading 00 digits, then we can use the following extension:

<extension name="Test3.1"> 
  <condition field="destination_number"  
    expression="^00(\d+)$"> 
    <action application="bridge"  
      data="sofia/profilename/$1@192.168.2.2"/> 
  </condition> 
</extension>
