I'm trying to set a channel variable with a space in it when I run the originate command. The command only seems to work when I escape the space with a \ however that backspace get's passed on. Some examples are
originate {fax_ident=1231231234,fax_header=testing\ spaces}sofia/gateway/outbound.fax/1004 &txfax(/tmp/fax.tiff) originate {fax_ident=1231231234,fax_header=testing spaces}sofia/gateway/outbound.fax/1004 &txfax(/tmp/fax.tiff)
The first one will go through just fine but the fax at the other end gets "testing\ spaces" the second one gives me "2010-01-12 16:35:18.41325 [ERR] switch_ivr_originate.c:990 Parse Error!"
I think this could also be done as a profile but I would rather do it from the call. I've looked around the wiki and have not seen any examples that use a space when doing the originate call.
I'll give you the answer if you promise to put it into the wiki. ;)
Okay, use single quotes like this: originate {fax_ident=1231231234,fax_header='testing spaces'}sofia/gateway/outbound.fax/1004 &txfax(/tmp/fax.tiff) -MC
