[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-20715) REGEX function ignores shorthand character starting with backslash

[Cam (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20715?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Cam updated ASTERISK-20715:
---------------------------

    Description: 
The following code fragment SHOULD evaluate to 1 (in variable isittf) but it does not:

exten => s,n,Set(testnum=18005551212)
exten => s,n,Set(tftest=^1?8(00|22|33|44|55|66|77|88)[2-9]\d{6}$)
exten => s,n,Set(isittf=${REGEX("${tftest}" ${testnum})})
exten => s,n,NoOp(Value of isittf is ${isittf})

However if the second line above is changed to:

exten => s,n,Set(tftest=^1?8(00|22|33|44|55|66|77|88)[2-9][0-9]{6}$)

(NOTE: There are no spaces in the tftest variable strings - the bug tracker must add them)

Then it works. It appears that \d or probably any shorthand character starting with a backslash in the REGEX string is ignored, even if first placed in a variable as I have done here.  I did try using a double backslash (\\d) but that did not work either.

If there is a fix for this I would appreciate it if it could be backported to the 1.8 branch.
