I want to be able to sanitize the destination_number channel variable But it seems that setting it doesn't quite work (because it's a "built-in variable" or some misuse of inline=true <condition field="dest_num" expression="^\+" inline="true"> <action application="log" data="WARNING Begins with +"/> <action application="set" data="dest_num=00${dest_num:1}" inline="true"/> <action application="log" data="WARNING dest_num now ${dest_num}" /> </condition> Although it seems to be doing the right thing, it doesn't seem to be. Lower down the file, I have <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{8}.*)"> <action application="bridge" data="[tenant_id=${tenant_id},a_ext=${a_ext},b_ext=${b_ext},origination_callee_id_number=$1,origination_caller_id_number=${ani_prefix}${ani}]sofia/internal/8980000000002$1@193.105.54.10"/> <anti-action application="log" data="WARNING ${destination_number} not a long number"/> </condition> And when I place a call to +44123456789 the log records EXECUTE sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net set(destination_number=0044123456789) 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:1305 sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net SET [destination_number]=[0044123456789] Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Action log(WARNING destination_number now ${destination_number}) Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Regex (FAIL) [Outbound_call] ${default_ani_prefix}(00953010) =~ /^$/ break=never Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Regex (FAIL) [Outbound_call] ${sip_auth_username}(0095301) =~ /^$/ break=never Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Regex (FAIL) [Outbound_call] ${default_ani_prefix}(00953010) =~ /^$/ break=never Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net ANTI-Action set(ani_prefix=${default_ani_prefix}) INLINE EXECUTE sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net set(ani_prefix=00953010) 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:1305 sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net SET [ani_prefix]=[00953010] Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Regex (FAIL) [Outbound_call] ${ani_prefix}(00953010) =~ /^(0)$/ break=never Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Regex (FAIL) [Outbound_call] destination_number(+44123456789) =~ /^(\d{8}.*)/ break=on-false Dialplan: sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net ANTI-Action log(WARNING ${destination_number} not a long number) 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:154 (sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net) State Change CS_ROUTING -> CS_EXECUTE 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_session.c:1228 Send signal sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net [BREAK] 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:433 (sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net) State ROUTING going to sleep 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:385 (sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net) Running State Change CS_EXECUTE 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:440 (sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net) State EXECUTE 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:241 sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net SOFIA EXECUTE 2012-07-24 08:59:03.611635 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:196 sofia/internal/0095301@vrhnov11.dmclub.net Standard EXECUTE So something odd going on here - probably easy for the experts to see my mistake!
