here is a part of my dialplan where i am trying to check whether a callerid exists or not in a queue and to be added to the database if not and if there then i try to log out.
the problem i am facing(the bolded line in the script above) is that REGEX takes string variable where as CALLERID function does not return a string.
so what could be done in order to solve it.
what i am clearly asking is how to change the callerID into a string.
for example $REGEX{“SIP/XXX”} … since “SIP/xxx” is a string and xxx is the extension real number.
in this way it works so fine but i want it to be more proffesional so i would take callerid and do what to be done.
