[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hi Freinds

how to read/Decrypt the below rules ?

voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 /\(^001\)\(.*\)/ /\2/

voice translation-rule 2
rule 1 /^159\(.*\)/ /\1/

rule 2 /^1234/ /81&/

rule 3 /^9222/ /\0/

Thanks

Ibrahim

Translation rules use Regular Expressions, and there are many Regex interpreters online. Cisco has some good docs too, i.e. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/call-routing-dial-plans/64020-number-voice-translation-profiles.html

In addition IOS has built in "test voice translation-rule".

voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 /\(^001\)\(.*\)/ /\2/

This one copies second segment in parenthesis and basically strips 001 when number starts with it (^). Anything in parenthesis is saved as a variable and then when you see "\2" it means use the second variable
