asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Go from CALLINGout to just CALLING

Hello list,

how can I go from CALLINGout to just CALLING ?

I've tried :

exten => s,n,Set(newVAR=${CUT(CALLINGout,,3)})
or
exten => s,n,Set(newVAR=$[CUT(CALLINGout,,3)])

But no result :

[Jan  4 11:10:12]     -- Executing [s at from-S:34]
NoOp("SIP/s2-0000003b",
"newVAR=") in new stack


Asterisk 1.6.10 here.


Kind regards,
Jonas.

I don't think CUT does what you think it does.
When using CUT, the second argument should be a delimiter, (hyphen,
pipe, comma, etc.)
I can't really tell what you are trying to achieve, but if CALLINGout
is the value
 of a variable, say X, and you want just the first 6 characters, you
could use (maybe):
exten => s,n,Set(newVAR=${X:0:6})
