[Freeswitch-users] Variable issue for setting conference record via API?

[Avi Marcus]

So I was able to use `eval` in my script, because I didn't need any channel
variables.
const
recordPath="$${recordings_dir}/"+myConference.name+"/${strftime(%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M)}.mp3";
const expanded = apiExecute('eval',recordPath);

I realized this is necessary because the variable expansion must happen
inside the dialplan, not inside the `set`.
