[SR-Users] AVPs in Switch/Case

[Joel Serrano]

OK so:

1- @Henning Westerholt <hw at kamailio.org>: I wasn't aware of $_s(format),
very useful, thanks for the pointer! (I tested it :P, and although it
doesn't work for *this* case, it's one of those good-to-know things)
2- @Daniel-Constantin Mierla <miconda at gmail.com>: you are correct, it only
works with constants, I tried all combinations (even AVP inside REGEX,
etc), and they all give an error (matching what you said).

In this case I need to use AVPs not constants, so I've switched from
"switch/case" to "if/elseif/else", but I've learned something new :-)

Thank you both for your help!
Joel.
