Re: help: need dialrules for ZA

Hello,

There must be a solution within dialrules for that but why not try this;

The following command line assumes that your ascii fax number database has
one entry at a line and each entry contains a pair of brackets you want to
lose. If this is not the case forget all about it!

cat your_fax_db |awk -F "(" '{print($1,$2)}' |awk -F ")" '{print($1,$2)}' 
> your_new_fax_DB

(These should be on one line)


Hope it works!
