Read this http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dialplan_XML#About_Dialplan_Variables You can't condition on a variable you set in the same extension because the set happens later. Thus its not possible to do what you're doing... Once you understand the dialplan is just a list of instructions that is compiled before its installed on the session and sent into execute. You're trying to have soup before the chicken has hatched. /b On Feb 26, 2009, at 8:56 AM, Alexander de Greiff wrote:

hi all,

i am dialing the number 123456789 (example) reaching fs via inbound sip gateway and hitting following dialplan:

<condition field="${sip_to_user}" expression="^123456(\d+)$"> <action application="set" data="my_dialed_extension=$1"/> </condition>

<condition field="${my_dialed_extension}" expression="^789"> ... <action application="bridge" data="{ignore_early_media=true}user/${my_dialed_extension}@$$ {domain}"/> ... </condition>

via info i can see that the variable my_dialed_extension is populated ok with 789 but somehow the second condition is not met. when i change that to match (.*) the actions gets executed and the my_dialed_extension inside is correct.

any suggestions?
