[cisco-voip] Destination Pattern Question

[Jonathan Charles]

That page is wrong.

For the example given:

The route pattern 813510[^0-5] routes or blocks all numbers in the range
8135106 through 8135109.

This should block all patterns 8135100 through 8135105.

Because the pattern, [^0-5] says NOT anything that has 0 through 5 in that
position...

Here are the other examples I have from Cisco:

[^756] matches anything that begins with a 5 or 6

[^4][^5][^6] matches the string 456

Now, I do not have an exact match for the [^0-5] but it indicates to me
that, following the patterns above, it should NOT match the range 0 through
5.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.
