CME dial plan: Using Wildcards

ccnpninja

Hi networkers,
in CCNA Voice 640-461 official cert guide, on page 126, Jeremy listed the wildcards one can use with the destination pattern command. The caret ^ means "does not begin with". However, I read about voice translation profiles, and it is said that the caret ^ means "begins with".

Are these two different kinds of wildcards? or could it be a typo in the official guide?

Different commands, different usage......it would be nice if Cisco were consistent, but....

For the destination-pattern command, the caret usually sits in [], and means excludes these numbers.
