Anyone using OFCOM numbering data?
Following a couple of posts mentioning 03xx numbers, I just checked my
code which mangles ofcom's numbering data for my hotel telephone billing
applications, and discovered that ofcom do not list 03xxx numbers in
either sabc.txt, nor s1_code.txt
Most annoying. (That and the current issue of s1_code.txt has a badly
formatted line at the end of it that I'll have to code around). (As
s1_code and s3_code have the same format, a bit of
LC=`wc -l s3_code.txt`; tail -`expr $LC - 1` >>s1_code.txt
prior to the data mangling program should do the trick...
If you are munching on the sabc.txt and s1_code.txt data to produce
itemised telephone bills with call descriptions and so forth on them,
you better examine your code too, or the 03xx numbers will come back to
bite you...
Data (for numbers anoraks out there..):
