[Freeswitch-users] Need help with lua called from dial plan - How to delimit arguments?

[Jyoti Prakash]

why not access it as global variable like
session:getVariable("caller_id_name"); 
and pass it to some variable or you can take help from following snippet of code from 
 function randomize()	api = freeswitch.API();	seed = tonumber(api:execute("global_getvar", "randomseed"));	if seed == 12345678 or seed == "" or seed == nil then		seed = os.time();	end	math.randomseed(seed);	seed = math.random(1,999999)	api:execute("global_setvar", "randomseed=" .. seed)end
 I have taken it from https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Fakecall_responder
