AEL Dialplan issue

Hello,

I’m trying to make an extension to check for the 1st digit on the Caller ID, so I can decide what the origin is and send it to a point or another based on previous decisions that do not matter for the issue.

So far, I’ve got this:

902918092 => {
NoOP(Entering the system);
Answer();
Playback(bienvenida);
Read(DIGITOS,15,2,10);
NoOP(The A number is ${CALLERID(num)});

            if("${CALLERID(num)}"=""){
                    Playback(goodbye);
                    Hangup();
            }
            //else NoOP(Origen Oculto, no puede llamar);
            //TODO informar sobre el numero oculto.
            if("${CALLERID(num)}:0:2"="9"){
                    goto DISA902_Fijo,${DIGITOS},inicio;
            }
            if("${CALLERID(num)}0:2"="6"){
                    goto DISA902_Movil,${DIGITOS},inicio;
            }
            if("${CALLERID(num)}:0:2"="8"){
                    goto DISA902_Fijo,${DIGITOS},inicio;
            }

However, it is not working at all.

Been doing some research and tried all of the possible syntaxes with " and : and everything, got no luck.

Also tried some debugging old way, and setted up a variable that would have the value ${CALLERID(num)}:0:2, however, no matter what the numbers before and after the : are, the variable is always 0, hence the Gotos are not being used and the calls get terminated.

Could I get any help?

Thanks!

I think you want “${CALLERID(num):0:1}”

That gets you the string starting at 0 with a length of 1.

Well, it’s working now, don’t really know what was my mistake, I’d say I tested your choice aswell.

Thanks by the way!!!
