On occasion, I have calls coming into an Asterisk 1.2.x system where the ${CALLERID(num)} includes '-'. Ex:

123-456-7890

How can I strip the dashes from the number, leaving me with '1234567890'?

I would do this in an AGI written in C -- but that's just me...

At the start of most of my client's dialplans I do something like:

        exten = _!.,1,                  verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
        exten = _!.,n,                  set(ANI=${EXTEN})
        exten = _!.,n,                  agi(block-ani,--verbose)

The block-ani AGI does something like:

) Set the BLOCK channel variable to YES

) Read the ANI channel variable

) Strips leading '+'

) Strips leading '1'

) Strips anything non-numeric

) If the preceding steps changed anything, re-set the ANI channel variable

) Looks up the NPA to see if it should be blocked, return if true

) Looks up the NPA-NXX to see if it should be blocked, return if true

) Looks up the NPA-NXX-XXXX to see if it should be blocked, return if true

) Set the BLOCK channel variable to NO

) Return to the dialplan
