Welcome to our forums! Smilie

I have merged your two threads into one.

RTM was right to refer you to our rules. But the rules were moved to the "Unix for Dummies Questions and Answers" forum. Click here to see them. And you should read the discussions of the rules in the rules forum as well.

Private Messaging has been disabled. Email to users should be possible, but each user must enable this. Even if it is enabled, email should be used very sparingly, if at all. As per our rules, the intent is public Question and Answer so that other folks with the same problems can also view what's being discussed. We are always glad to see newcomers studying unix. But there are thousands of students who are starting to study unix and who are just as enthusiastic as you. We cannot accept private email from all of them.

And finally remember that our rules prohibit us from doing your homework for you.

Sorry to be a drag and bring up all these rules, but it's part of my job as a moderator. Smilie

NAME
dialtest - HylaFAX dial string processing rules test program SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dialtest [ options ] dialrules DESCRIPTION
dialtest is an interactive program for the testing and development of dial string processing rules used by HylaFAX. dialtest reads the file of rules specified on the command line and then prompts for a dial string. For each string typed in, dialtest prints the result of applying the canonicalization and dial-string preparation rule sets. A rule set whose name is setname can be specified by typing ``set- name(string)''; for example, ``CanonicalName(+1.415.965.7824)''. Note that dialtest reads the rules file only when it is initially started up. This means that dialtest must be restarted for it to apply changes to a rules file. OPTIONS
-a code Use code as the value of AreaCode in the rules file. The default area code is ``415''. -c code Use code as the value of CountryCode in the rules file. The default country code is ``1''. -i prefix Use prefix as the value of InternationalPrefix in the rules file. The default international dialing prefix is ``011''. -l prefix Use prefix as the value of LongDistancePrefix in the rules file. The default long distance dialing prefix is ``1''. -q Be quiet, suppressing most all output except for the actual results. This is useful for using dialtest in an automated fashion. -v Print each input line before displaying the results of applying the dial string rules to the input string. This can be useful, for example, in shell scripts. SEE ALSO
