[Asterisk-Users] CallerID/variable setting.

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hey, all.  I'm trying to set my CID such that, internally, I see a
four-digit extension (which is also handy when checking VM), but
externally, I see the full 10-digit number.  So I plugged these lines into
my extensions.conf:

exten => _XXXXXXX,1,GotoIf($[ ${CALLERIDNUM} != 1625]?4:2)
exten => _XXXXXXX,2,Set(CALLERIDNUM=6031234${CALLERIDNUM:1})
exten => _XXXXXXX,3,NoOp(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _XXXXXXX,4,Dial(${OUTBOUNDTRUNK}/${EXTEN})

(I wanted to test against my own extension, "1625"; if that worked, I
wanted to strip off the "1", and then prepend the 603-123-4 to my
remaining three digits.)

Which is all well and good -- until I actually try to use it.  Then, I get:

    -- Executing GotoIf("SIP/1625-f89a", "0?4:2") in new stack
    -- Goto (internal,7654321,2)
    -- Executing Set("SIP/1625-f89a", "CALLERIDNUM=6031234625") in new stack
    -- Executing NoOp("SIP/1625-f89a", "1625") in new stack
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/1625-f89a", "Zap/g1/7654321") in new stack

Why does my "NoOp" line show my 1625 extension, when CALLERIDNUM is -- as
far as I can tell -- being set to 6031234625?  (I looked against the "Set"
command page on the Wiki, and I think I'm doing it right.)

Asterisk 1.2.3, if that matters.

Thanks,
