[Serusers] Quick question on pattern matching in the uri variable

[Frank Durda IV]

The following piece of code is supposed to change
a uri of 18885551212 to 8885551212 and change a uri of
+18885551212 to 8885551212.

The 18885551212 situation works fine, but in the +1
situation, the "if" test fails for some reason the
code below falls to the "nothing to strip" log message.
What am I missing?


route[STRIP_LEADING_ONE]
{
        if (method == "INVITE") {
                if (uri =~ "^sip:1.*" ) {               #Leading 1?
                        xlog("L_ERR", "Strip leading '1' - From 
URI:<%fu> From Tag:<%ft> Request's R-URI:<%ru> Before treatment To 
URI:<%tu>\n");
                        strip(1);
                } else if (uri =~ "^sip:+1.*" ) {       #Leading +1?
                        xlog("L_ERR", "Strip leading '+1' - From 
URI:<%fu> From Tag:<%ft> Request's R-URI:<%ru> Before treatment To 
URI:<%tu>\n");
                        strip(2);
                } else {
                        xlog("L_ERR", "Nothing to Strip - From URI:<%fu> 
>From Tag:<%ft> Request's R-URI:<%ru> Before treatment To URI:<%tu>\n");
                }
        }
}
 
Thanks in advance!
