Which variables? For caller_id_number it says "Practically it is read only." What does this mean? -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

How do I generate the new number? I need to be able to test if it starts with '61', and if so, replace the first two digits with '0', otherwise just prefix the number with '+'. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

So would something like this work? <extension name="oztel_cid" continue="true"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(12345678)$"/> <condition field="caller_id_number" expression="^61([2-9]\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d)$" break="on-true"> <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=0$1"/> </condition> <condition field="caller_id_number" expression="^(\d+)$" break="on-true"> <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=$1"/> </condition> </extension> <extension name="oztel_cid"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(12345678)$"> <action application="set" data="domain_name=$${domain}"/> <action application="transfer" data="2000 XML default"/> </condition> </extension> -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

regex lesson:

Much better. Thanks for this. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

As a note, this method overwrites what is in the caller profile. The vars are really the right way to do this. If you ever find yourself actually using set profile var you are almost definitely doing the wrong thing unless you are 100% sure you are not. This function was originally left completely undocumented because you should not be using it. If any documentation is added for this other than completely removing documentation, it should be a bold warning that says you should not under any circumstances use this.

caller_id is slightly tricky. Use the dptool set_profile_var http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_set_profile_var. Though that is under documented.

But really, if you are just bridging then do what Brian said. That is the "appropriate" method in most cases.
