[asterisk-users] Multiple readfile oddities, newlines etc

[Jonathan H]

I'm going to go ahead and file a bug report, 'cos something definitely
ain't right here! Bug filed:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26481

This bit of dialplan.....

exten => 5,1,Verbose(Context: ${CONTEXT} Exten:${EXTEN})
    same => n,Set(featurefile=/home/test/feature-1.txt)
    same => n,set(myList=1,12,123,1234,12345,123456,A,AB,ABC,ABCD,ABCDE,ABC123)
    same => n,While($["${SET(rawVar=${SHIFT(myList)})}" != ""])
    same => n,SET(FILE(${featurefile})=${rawVar})
    same => n,SET(fileVar=${FILE(${featurefile},0,1,l,u)})
    same => n,SET(hexDump=${SHELL(hd ${featurefile})})
    same => n,Verbose(Before file: ---${rawVar}--- len ${LEN(rawVar)}
after file: ---${fileVar}--- len ${LEN(fileVar)} hexdump:${hexDump})
    same => n,EndWhile()
    same => n,Hangup()


...produces this output: (tidied only for posting) - this is messed up
in so many ways.

LEN is showing the wrong length.
1 character gets a weird character added.
23, and 4  characters OK
5 characters loses a character - BUT LOOK! Even though hexdump prints
the correct contents and length, have a close look at this: 35|12345|
whereas normally it would have a space before the pipe.
6 characters is OK
