[hylafax-users] dialtest handling "(" in dial strings differently?

["Stefan Wagner" <stefan-usenet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I just hit some unclear behaviour when testing some dial rules with
dialtest. (Hylafax 4.4.4, from debian lenny)

Using the standard dialrules file, I changed the DialString ruleset to strip
'/', '(' and ')' additionally:

DialString := [
[-${WS}./]+             =                       ! strip syntactic sugar
\(                      =
\)                      =
[abcABC]                = 2                     ! these convert alpha to
numbers
[defDEF]                = 3
[ghiGHI]                = 4
[jklJKL]                = 5
[mnoMNO]                = 6
[prsPRS]                = 7
[tuvTUV]                = 8
[wxyWXY]                = 9
^[+]${Country}          = ${LDPrefix}           ! long distance call
^[+]                    = ${IDPrefix}           ! international call
]

Looks ok so far, but if I try to test a dial string like "(0228) 555-123",
this happens:

ready> (0228) 555-123
input = "(0228) 555-123"
Apply  rules to "0228"
--> return result "0228"
(0228) = "0228"
ready>

If I use other notations like 0228/555-123 everything is fine:

ready> 0228/555-123
input = "0228/555-123"
Apply CanonicalNumber rules to "0228/555-123"
--> match rule "[^+0-9]+", result now "0228555-123"
--> match rule "[^+0-9]+", result now "0228555123"
--> match rule "^0", result now "+49228555123"
--> return result "+49228555123"
Apply DialString rules to "0228/555-123"
--> match rule "[-      ./]+", result now "0228555-123"
--> match rule "[-      ./]+", result now "0228555123"
--> return result "0228555123"
Apply DisplayNumber rules to "0228/555-123"
--> return result "0228/555-123"
canonical = "+49228555123"
dial-string = "0228555123"
display = "0228/555-123"
ready>

Do I miss something here or is this just a special behaviour of dialtest?
(Reading the man page suggests this, as expressions like "setname(string)"
are allowed.)

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Stefan
