Hello,
#!substdef does not set the value inside quoted string, it replaces inside a string value, so it does not put quotes around replacement part. So it does it it is written in the docs. There is #!substdefs witch can create a define with quoted value.
Note that defines are standalone-token replacement, you can define an ID to a number, to a keyword (e.g., src_ip), to a quoted string or even a multi-line script snippet, like:
#!define IDLOOP $var(i) = 0; \ while($var(i)<5) { \ xlog("++++ $var(i)\n"); \ $var(i) = $var(i) + 1; \ }
See the core cookbook for more details.
Anyhow, as using env variable values as quoted string is useful and setting them with quotes might look odd, I added #!defenvs:

Hello all,
Looking for some clarification regarding quoting and !#defenv . I understand that the example below fails because the environmental variable HOME is not quoted, thus when used in the xlog() call it fails. How is it possible to evaluate and/or use the value of the environmental variable if defined as a preprocessor variable? Looking at the documentation the reason for this directive is “It is a simplified alternative of using *#!substdef* with *$env(NAME)* in the replacement part.” But #!substdef would allow setting the value inside of a quoted string, so does it really meet that requirement?
I’m aware that I could use $env(HOME) rather than a preprocessor directive of HOME. I’m just trying to understand the usage of the #!defenv feature.
#!KAMAILIO
## Tested in 5.5.2
loadmodule "xlog"
loadmodule "pv"
loadmodule "evrexec"
modparam("evrexec", "exec", "name=evrexec:timer;wait=1000;workers=1;")
#!defenv HOME
request_route{
forward();
}
event_route[evrexec:timer] {
xlog("L_N", "HOME: " + HOME + "\n");
}
