Re: Regular expressions in pattern matching

Yes, that is what I'm saying. If a raw name consists only of the digits 0-9 then I want to be able to block it. Note that as the pattern wildcards (% and _) are presently configured, there is no way to distinguish numeric characters from alphabetic. If you implemented the robust unix style regexp fo...

Re: Regular expressions in pattern matching

Example from yesterday: Raw number: 2063971421, Raw name: 2063971421. I *know* anybody who calls with a name/number like this is not someone I want to hear from, and I want to block the call. But I don't want to block just the number (206) 397-1421, I want to block *all* calls that use the number as...

Regular expressions in pattern matching

Now that I am seeing robocallers being more creative in their raw names and raw numbers (for example, a name that is the 10 digits of the number), it would be nice to be able to create a pattern to match all similar names or numbers. But for that to work, the pattern matching templates have to be mo...

Line monitor log grows indefinitely

In looking through some of my recent backups, I discovered that the line monitor log is now up to 25mb and contains data more than a year old. I can't envision needing more than a couple of weeks of this info (if that). Maybe Caller ID could set a limit on how much of this info it keeps (similar to ...

Number lookup speed

When I first installed Caller ID, it would consistently locate the Contact of an incoming call before the 2nd ring. Now that I have added more (378) contact numbers (mostly blocked numbers), it takes longer to retrieve the Contact info and I often hear the phone ring twice before a nuisance call get...

Still problems with First Call and Number of Calls

Bill, I've been looking more closely at the First Call and Number of Calls in my database and am still finding errors. It seems to me that those fields should reflect what I can find in the database, and often they do. But for a number of contacts, they are off by one or two and miss some calls. I'm...

Re: Some First Called dates not being reset properly

I just posted a new beta that corrects zero date values (which appear as 12/30/1899) as well as blank ones. It also corrects the "Last Called" values. Thanks for the quick response, Bill. I tried it out, and it does indeed work. If you have calls with incorrect dates, this will not fix pr...

Some First Called dates not being reset properly

Bill, I installed 2.0.1.13 and repaired my database. Then I looked at some of the First Called dates/times. Some of them are 12/30/1899 even though they have a valid Last Called date/time. Some numbers have a valid First Called and blank Last Called (these may be ones I entered manually -- but still...

Update first call

I don't know if this is a feature request or a bug report. When I create a contact from a call that isn't the first call from that number (say I wait until I get 2-3 calls from a number to create the contact) and look at the Numbers tab of the contact, I see that the "Last Called" and &quo...

Start Menu folder disappeared

Bill, Subject says it all. When I installed 2.0.1.2, I definitely asked to have a Start Menu folder called "Ascendis Caller ID", but it is not there. In fact, there is no such folder under "All Users" (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu) nor under my specific username...

Puzzling entry in Activity Log

Bill, I received only one "Out of Area" call today, at 2:19PM. Neither Caller ID nor any of my caller ID boxes indicate a call at 1:09PM. So what is the line in the Activity Log below at 1:09PM? (There is nothing else in the Activity Log for today). From the Activity Log: 7/24/2007 07:46:4...

Manual call input

For future versions: it would be nice to be able to enter a call manually. There are times when my computer is off and a call comes in -- name, time and number are recorded by my caller id box. I know I can put the info in a csv file and import the call, but it would be easier if I could just click ...

Number format

I think I may have screwed up Caller ID's format option (Options: Format Tab). I received a call whose raw number (from the modem log) was 1nnnmmmxxxx and it was stored in Caller ID as (1nn) nmm-mxxx. I had all three of the default format choices enabled but I think I have rearranged the order they ...

Call count in error

Bill, I have noticed that the New Call count (on the main page) doesn't jive with the actual number of calls for which the New checkbox is checked. For example, this morning when I brought CallerID up for the first time the count was set at zero. Then a new call came in, and that raised it to one, b...
