Also,  the INIT_VARS route is the very first thing that executes within the main routing block.  

The case that i am interested in that results in one statement returning false and the other true is for an INVITE.  

I tried printing the uri variable but was unsuccessful in doing so.  Maybe if that's the next best step, i can pursue that with some advice on how to print that variable.

Thanks,

Karthik

Yes, they are used at the very same place. here is a code snippet of where i added it for testing purposes:


route[INIT_VARS] {

$var(myself) = uri =~ "<regex string to match>" || uri == myself;
//if i print $var(myself) it prints 0 
$var(myself) = uri =~ "<regex string to match>" || is_myself("$ru");
//if i print $var(myself) it prints 1 

// in both cases above the regex part isn't supposed to match and hence correctly returns false.
...

}

route{

   route(INIT_VARS);

...
}

they are supposed to be the same in this case.

Are they used at the same place in config? Note that $ru can be changed
by different functions such as those from registrar, dispatcher, lcr, ...
