How do I get the bit like "IAX2/white_phone" in extensions.conf eg from pre-defined variables or variants thereof ? What I *do* get is strings like this "IAX2/white_phone@white_phone-4" from ${CHANNEL}, but that's the full channel name. What am I missing here ? Thanks, Thomas
Try using the Cut application. For your example channel you can use the following. exten => whatever,n,Cut(my_variable=CHANNEL,@,1) That should give you your IAX2/white_phone. For more info, take a look at either the wiki or CLI help. B.

I too have a doubt regarding the variables: currently, to forward a call to a SIP proxy, I use exten => _0.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@sipproxy) where 'sipproxy' is defined as a peer in sip.conf. Using this, I can only use the 'name' part of the URI as anything after @ is removed. But how can I retain the 'domain' part and still forward the calls to the proxy?. i.e. I have to send the whole string ${EXTEN:1}@${SIPDOMAIN} to the peer sipproxy. Can this be done? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Make Yahoo! your home page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
