Greetings and thanks for the code. Is it expected that the exclusion statement < ExecIF($["${EXTEN}"="100"]?Hangup) > will handle traditional dialplan wild cards? for instance ExecIF($["${EXTEN}"="1xx"]?Hangup). Thanks

exclusion statement ... will handle traditional dialplan wild cards?

No. To do that you'll want to investigate the REGEX dialplan function.
