[asterisk-users] Properly Escaping Quotes and Commas

[Cody Harris]

I just tried to use replace, but I'm not sure I got the syntax right:

exten => s,n,Set(IMCID=${REPLACE("${CALLERID(all)}",",')})

complains

[Dec 22 14:01:29] ERROR[16755]: pbx.c:3528 ast_func_read2: Function  not
registered

Any suggestions?  Thanks!
