[asterisk-users] Variable stripping/removing part of string

[magnus.b at inputinterior.se]

U were right, breaking it into two lines work.

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CALLERID(name)})
exten => 0424449631,n,Set(name=${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${name:0:-1})
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:4] NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-150", 
"Martela (fax)") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:5] Set("OOH323/Avaya2-150", 
"name=Martela ") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:6] NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-150", 
"Martela") in new stack

But still, dont understand why u cant do it on one line, but u cant always 
understand everything.
Anyway, thx for pointing me to the correct direction.

I think you are not able to do it in one step. Can you try something like 
this:

exten => 0424449631,n,Set(TESTING=${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${TESTING:0:-1})

Best regards,
