From my experience with lua its treating %s as any whitespace, starts with any number of spaces, then it says anything after the spaces non greedy, then followed by a string, ending with that string

Hi All,
I have modified this excellent example LUA script ( https://confluence.freeswitch.org/display/FREESWITCH/Lua+Intercom+example) to return “true” if an extension is in use and “false” otherwise”. Just FYI: this is great for Cisco phones because an auto-answer (intercom) connection will interrupt the current call unless you block ALL intercom use. With this I can sent intercom if not in use, or send as a standard call otherwise. My complements to the original chef!
My request is for someone to explain the pattern matching pattern used in this function:
function trim (s)
return (string.gsub(s, "^%s*(.-)%s*$", "%1"))
end
It takes a string like this:
“uuid,direction,created,created_epoch,name,state,cid_name,cid_num,ip_addr,dest,application,application_data,dialplan,context,read_codec,read_rate,read_bit_rate,write_codec,write_rate,write_bit_rate,secure,hostname,presence_id,presence_data,callstate,callee_name,callee_num,callee_direction,call_uuid,sent_callee_name,sent_callee_num

1 total.”
or just this:
“
0 total.”
And returns just the number and the “Total.” at the end, like “1 total.” Or “0 total.”
I am fairly regex pattern savvy so I understand pattern matching, but I cannot decipher this LUA pattern. I see it works, but I would like to understand how/why.
Thanks as always,
Sean
