asterisk users - Apr 2011 - Variable stripping/removing part of string

Hi!

I try to get rid of some part of CALLERID(name) but I cant realy figure out a
way to do it.
For example: CALLERID(name) = "Martela (fax)" I am just looking for
the part before ? (? in my case ?Martela?.
I can?t serch for ? ?, could be many ? ?, but only one ? (?, thought i could do
something like:

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1):0:-1})

But that gave me ?Martela ? so my way of doing it is wrong.
Any that can tell me what I am doing wrong or have any better suggestion howto
do it?

/Magnus

You're almost there.  The issue is that CUT uses 1-based offsets, not
0-based offsets, so:
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,2):0:-1})

It was a 1.8 but then we started to do a lot of development (ooh323) so 
today it is Asterisk SVN-may-ooh323_ipv6_direct_rtp-r311741MS-/trunk.
Can hardly se that we have done any changes that would cause my
"problem".

Oh, sorry.  You were right before, then.  As far as the :0:-1 nomenclature,
what version of Asterisk are you using?  It was not supported before 1.4.

I think you are not able to do it in one step. Can you try something like this:

exten => 0424449631,n,Set(TESTING=${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${TESTING:0:-1})

Best regards,
Jeroen Eeuwes

U were right, breaking it into two lines work.

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CALLERID(name)})
exten => 0424449631,n,Set(name=${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${name:0:-1})
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:4]
NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-150",
"Martela (fax)") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:5]
Set("OOH323/Avaya2-150",
"name=Martela ") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:6]
NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-150",
"Martela") in new stack

But still, dont understand why u cant do it on one line, but u cant always 
understand everything.
Anyway, thx for pointing me to the correct direction.

Just a guess...  try this:

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)}:0:-1})

Weired result:

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CALLERID(name)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)}:0:-1})
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:4]
NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-248",
"Martela (fax)") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:5]
NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-248",
"") in new stack

Now I understand even less. (But it was a nice try).
