[Asterisk-Users] Channel name (and substring)

[B. J. Bomar]

Put in two Cut statement for both the "@" and "-".  It looks like if it
can't find the delimiter that it just simply sets the new variable to the
exact value of the old one.  Just a thought.

Thanks, I thought of that, but it doesn't account for cases like Zap/1
that becomes Zap/1-1 in the ${CHANNEL} variable because the convention
seems to change from '@' to '-'. It means I can't write a "generic"
translation.

Thanks,
