asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Question about AGI and variable storage

Hi all,

I just finished writing the bulk of an AGI interface to FirebirdSQL 
databases and I noticed that when assigning a variable through AGI (I 
assume this also applies within the dialplan), you have to enclose it in 
quotes if there are any space.

Does Asterisk strip off the quotes when storing the value?

Just curious.

Thanks,

You could do a 5 minute test to figure that out...

blah.agi:
SET VARIABLE testme "I have quotes!"

dialplan.txt:

exten => s,1,AGI(blah.agi)
exten => s,n,Set(regular=no quotes)
exten => s,n,NoOp(regular is ${regular})
exten => s,n,NoOp(testme is ${testme})

Voila.

I don't care to try this out to find your answer, but I'm sure if you 
did that you'd get a response quicker than it took you to write your 
question and await responses.

Please note this code is not tested and I don't promise it will work 
without modification :)

Of course, you have have just answered yes or no and saved yourself a 
bit of time was well.  Or not answered at all and saved your quip for 
someone who deserved it.
