$1 comes from the LAST regex ran. In this case last regex is looking for true w/ no () so there is nothing in $1

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…
