RE: Setting effecting_caller_id

Ok, the problem here is that the variable caller_id_name contains the Caller ID number instead of the CNAM that was looked up. Is there a variable to look at and change for the CNAM info? Info shows the CNAM info in Caller-Caller-ID-Name but attempts to match on variations of that have failed. Obviously I’m missing some basic piece of info here but I haven’t been able to find it, even within the FreeSwitch book.

I’ve pasted a small section of the relevant console output below.

I should also mention that I’m doing this check within public.xml since I want it to apply to all incoming calls.

Thanks,

- Phil

The reply is different each time, depending upon the number being looked up. So, I just want to look at the first part of the string. If FS can’t do a regex match without the trailing $, I’m guessing there’s a way to just do it in XML.

I’ll try and see what I can find after the storm passes unless you have a better idea, I need to shut this computer down right now.

Thanks,

You can just not use a regex.

Do you need to escape the spaces?

If you put the $ at the end then it will try to match the entire string instead of just the beginning of it, which won’t work in this case. Is there a way to match just the beginning of the string in FS?

You need a $ after 'lookup' for it to be a regex.

And while I’m asking dumb questions…

When doing CNAM dips from opencnam.com, often you get a result of “Currently running a lookup for phone ‘xxxxxxxxxx’… on incoming calls, typically for wireless or other unknown name callers and I wanted to change that to “Wireless/Unknown” Since caller_id_name is apparently read-only, I am attempting to set effective_caller_id_name. I put the following in public.xml right below the “fix_cidnam_plus” entry, in other words after a CNAM lookup has been performed.

</condition>

</extension>

If I crafted my regex properly, then it should be matching on the first part of the string and setting the variable appropriately. Is ‘effective_caller_id_name’ the variable I should be setting?

Many thanks,
