I came across an issue where the user interface I was using (FreePBX?) to enter expressions was silently swallowing backslash characters (this wasn't regexp, but my dialplan had to add a SIP header with a semicolon in - that was falling foul of the comment character matching for the user interface, so I had to escape it, but that was being stripped elsewere!)

So I wanted the following in the dial plan:

Blah;blah

But I had to enter:

Blah\\;blah

And when this was displayed on the user interface it was shown as:

Blah\;blah

Just a thought.


You are right, it looks like the backslashes are being silently
swallowed, but adding extra ones doesn't help either :-)

It cannot even match the backslash itself (\\). By the way, using your
suggestions, one should type "\\\" to match a backslash :-)

I had to do something messy to get this to work in the dialplan:

exten => 1,n,Set(PLUS=\\+)
exten => 1,n,set(INNAT=${REGEX("^${PLUS}" ${ATELNO})})
exten => 1,n,gotoif($[${INNAT}] ?visint)

Now admittedly I had a whole lot of other things going on that
probably made it harder than it had to be.
