$1 comes from the LAST regex ran. In this case last regex is looking for true w/ no () so there is nothing in $1 From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Rick Jarvis Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 12:14 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Regex capturing in nested conditions Is there a way of referencing captured regex in the first condition of nested conditions? EG If I have: <extension name="8 prefix" continue="true"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^8(0\d{9,15})"/> <condition field="${db(exists/${sip_from_user}/cli8}" expression="true"> <action application="set" data="destination_number=$1" inline="true"/> </condition> </extension> At the moment this doesn’t capture the number, and just gives me an actual ‘$1’. I guess I could rearrange the conditions, but I don’t want to break all my logic really…
