asterisk users - Sep 2005 - New CUT()

I store my speed dial numbers in the astdb key speeddial with the number and
then name separated by a -.

This dial plan works fine:
[speed-dial]
exten => _*0XX,1,Set(temp=${DB(speeddial/${EXTEN:2})})
exten => _*0XX,2,Cut(number=temp,,1)
exten => _*0XX,3,Goto(house-phones,${number},1)

The log informs me that cut is replaced with CUT.

I rewrote the dial plan using CUT (as best I can figure out) The plan below
returns the entire string number-name and fails?

[speed-dial]
exten => _*0XX,1,Set(temp=${DB(speeddial/${EXTEN:2})})
exten => _*0XX,2,CUT(temp,,1)
exten => _*0XX,3,Goto(house-phones,${temp},1)

What am I missing.

Thanks

The new CUT is a function, and should be used within a Set command.
Something approximating (please check the detail):

exten => _*0XX,1,Set(temp=${DB(speeddial/${EXTEN:2})})
exten => _*0XX,2,Set(number=CUT(temp,,1))
exten => _*0XX,3,Goto(house-phones,${number},1)

Your second example is calling the same Cut command as the first.
