<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module implements generic string translations based on matching and
replacement rules. It can be used to manipulate the request URI or a PV and to
translate it to a new format/value. Dialplan can also be used to match
a given URI and retrieve a set of attributes based on the match. It is a very
flexible module that can be used to handle call routing, prefix rewrites
and much more.
</para>
</section>
<section id="dialplan.introduction">
<title>How it works</title>
<para>
At startup the module will load a set of matching and transformation rules from a
database. Rules are grouped into dialplans. Every database row will be
stored in memory as a dialplan rule. Each rule will describe how the
matching will be made, how the input value will be modified and which
attributes that will be set for the matching transformation.
</para>
<para>
The module expects an input value which will be matched against a rule
by using regular expressions (see 'man pcresyntax' for syntax), string
or fnmatch (see 'man fnmatch') matching. Overlapping matching expressions
can be controlled via priorities. One priority can have multiple
dialplan entries. Priorities need not be numbered with consecutive
numbers. The next higher priority will be used after trying to match all
entries in one priority.
</para>
<para>
Once a rule is matched, the defined transformation (if any) is applied and
the result is returned as output value. Also, if any string attribute is
associated to the rule, this will be returned to the script along with
the output value. This can be used to identify the used rule.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis> The first matching rule will be processed.</emphasis>
</para>
</section>
<section id="dialplan.usecases">
<title>Dialplan use cases</title>
<para>
The module can be used to implement multiple dialplans - to do
auto-completion of dialed numbers (like national to international),
to convert generic numbers to specific numbers (like for emergency numbers).
</para>
<para>
The module can also be used for detecting a range or sets of numbers mapped
on a service/case - the attribute string can be used to store extra
information about the service/case.
</para>
<para>
Non-SIP string translation can be implemented - like converting country
names from all possible formats to a canonical format:
<emphasis>(UK, England, United Kingdom) -> GB.
</emphasis></para>
<para>
Any other string-base translation or detection for whatever other purposes.

Note that you can use config variables in the replacement expression
(repl_exp) field. However, not all of config variables are safe to use
there - specifically the variables that have in their name other
variables (variables with dynamic name). References to SIP message,
private variables ($var(...)) and AVPs with static name are among
those that are safe to use in replacement expressions.

The match_op field specify matching operator, valid values:
