Example:“12.” would match “123”, “1234”, “12345”, “12abc”, and so on.xThe “x” can be used as a placeholder for any character. Example:“12x” would match “121”, “122”, “123”, “12a”, and so on.-The dash “-” can be used to match a range of characters within the brackets. Example:“[5-7]” would match the number “5”, ”6” or ”7”.,The comma “,” can be used as a separator within the bracket. Example:“[2,5,8]” would match the number ”2”, “5” or “8”.[]The square bracket "[]" can be used as a placeholder for a single character which matches any of a set ofcharacters. Example:"91[5-7]1234"would match “9151234”, “9161234”, “9171234”.()The parenthesis "( )" can be used to group together patterns, for instance, to logically combine two ormore patterns. Example:"([1-9])([2-7])3" would match “923”, “153”, “673”, and so on.$The “$” followed by the sequence number of a parenthesis means the characters placed in the parenthesis.The sequence number stands for the corresponding parenthesis. Example:A replace rule configuration, Prefix: "001(xxx)45(xx)", Replace: "9001$145$2". When you dial out"0012354599" on your phone, the IP phone will replace the number with "90012354599". “$1” means 3digits in the first parenthesis, that is, “235”. “$2” means 2 digits in the second parenthesis, that is, “99”.Replace Rule File CustomizationThe replace rule file helps create multiple replace rules. At most 100 replace rules can be added to the IP phone.You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for the replace rule file template. You can also obtain the replace rule filetemplate online: http://support.yealink.com/documentFront/forwardToDocumentFrontDisplayPage.TopicsReplace Rule File AttributesCustomizing the Replace Rule FileReplace Rule File AttributesThe following table lists the attributes you can use to add replace rules to the replace rule file:Attributes DescriptionPrefix Specify the number to be replaced.Replace Specify the alternate string instead of what the user enters.
