[Kamailio-Users] avp

[Alex Balashov]

Anders,

The strip() and prefix() core functions operate on the Request URI, 
which can be accessed via the pseudovariable $ru.  Its user part is 
$rU, the domain part is $rd, and the port is $rp.  To copy the user 
part of the Request URI into an AVP after manipulation, you can simply 
assign its current value:

    $avp(s:user_ip_tag) = $rU;

I'm guessing this (user part) is what you intended to do.

However, it is not necessary to import data into the Request URI for 
purposes of manipulation.  Kamailio has something called transformations:

    http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/transformations:1.5.x

For your purposes, you may think of these as something kind of like 
object-oriented string manipulation functions.  These can operate on 
any scalar string value, e.g.

   $(avp(s:user_ip_tag){s.len})
   $avp(s:user_ip_tag) = $(rU{s.substr,1,5});

In order to obtain the data you want you can simply use those.

Cheers,

-- Alex
