[Asterisk-Users] Channel name (and substring)

[B. J. Bomar]

Try using the Cut application.  For your example channel you can use the
following.

exten => whatever,n,Cut(my_variable=CHANNEL,@,1)

That should give you your IAX2/white_phone.  For more info, take a look at
either the wiki or CLI help.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Channel name (and substring)

How do I get the bit like "IAX2/white_phone" in extensions.conf eg from
pre-defined variables or variants thereof ?

What I *do* get is strings like this "IAX2/white_phone at white_phone-4"
from ${CHANNEL}, but that's the full channel name.

What am I missing here ?

Thanks,
Thomas
