That was my understanding of how it should work as well, however in my testing it does not
appear to be working that way.
e.g. if there is a key of "+18884441111” in my dataset and I do
$shtcn(htablename=>~%8884441111) I get a count of 0.
As far as regex, I am trying to avoid that as I was told many years ago that regex is
inherently slow when compared to other operations in Kamailio. I was told this by someone
I trust as an authority, and since this is a quite high volume system (greater than 1500
requests per second at peak load), every millisecond matters.

Per my understanding, the left prefix match means the name "starts with" given
prefix, while the right prefix match means the name "ends with" given prefix.
$sht(a=>aac) = 1;
$sht(a=>abc) = 1;
$sht(a=>acc) = 1;
$sht(a=>adc) = 1;
...
// both will produce same output
xlog("$shtcn(a=>a.*)");
xlog("$shtcn(a=>%~a)");
// both will produce same output
xlog("$shtcn(a=>.*c)");
xlog("$shtcn(a=>~%c)");
I usually use regex whenever possible and avoid these fancy derivatives to keep things
simple and easy to understand in kamailio config.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [SR-Users] htable shtcn expressions
Referring to the expressions outlined at
http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/cookbooks/5.4.x/pseudovariables#shtcn_htable_e… , is there
any additional documentation or examples floating around that further explains how the
right and left prefix matching works? The rest of them are pretty clear, but I'm
having troubles with these and can't get them working like I would expect them to
work.
