[Freeswitch-users] dialplan condition regex question

Read this http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dialplan_XML#About_Dialplan_Variables

You can't condition on a variable you set in the same extension  
because the set happens later.  Thus its not possible to do what  
you're doing... Once you understand the dialplan is just a list of  
instructions that is compiled before its installed on the session and  
sent into execute.  You're trying to have soup before the chicken has  
hatched.
