[asterisk-dev] ast_config and character escaping

[st41ker]

Hello,

I'm using ast_variable_browse to retrieve variables from some text 
config file.
I need to load variables containing regexp values, but it seems like 
something is breaking them.

Sample variable from config file:

^1(.*)=(.*)/09\&

In the output ast_variable I'm getting escaped ('\\&') value.

When I use:

^1(.*)=(.*)/09\1

everything is fine.

I've looked almost everywhere in the related code and found nothing that 
can help in resolving the issue.
Please, could someone direct me in the right way?

Thank you,
Alexander.
