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

[magnus.b at inputinterior.se]

Weired result:

exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${CALLERID(name)})
exten => 0424449631,n,NoOp(${${CUT(CALLERID(name),\(,1)}:0:-1})
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:4] NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-248", 
"Martela (fax)") in new stack
-- Executing [0424449631 at fax.inputinterior.se:5] NoOp("OOH323/Avaya2-248", 
"") in new stack

Now I understand even less. (But it was a nice try).

Just a guess...  try this:

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