I am writing a dialplan context under asterisk 11.21.0 to handle SIP message routing between registered SIP peers using chan_sip. I am having trouble with double-quotes when the source peer uses a display name, which appears in quotes before the SIP URI. I want to extract the SIP URI from MESSAGE(from) in order to (conditionally) route a failure message back to the source peer.

My test dialplan sets up variables like these:

exten => _X.,n,Set(RX=".*<(.+)>")
exten => _X.,n,Set(T1="Example name" <sip:[email protected]>)

If I just apply the regex operator (:) on T1 using regexp RX, like this:

exten => _X.,n,Set(FROM_SIPURI=$[${T1}:${RX}])

...I get this syntax error:

[2016-08-08 15:04:02] WARNING[1653][C-00000000]: ast_expr2.fl:470 ast_yyerror: 
ast_yyerror():  syntax error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '-' or '!' or 
'(' or '<token>'; Input:
"Example name" <sip:[email protected]>:".*<(.+)>"
                                        ^
(caret points at the colon character)

If I enclose the T1 variable in double quotes, like this:

exten => _X.,n,Set(FROM_SIPURI=$["${T1}":${RX}])

...I get this syntax error:

[2016-08-08 15:05:40] WARNING[1653][C-00000000]: ast_expr2.fl:470 ast_yyerror: 
ast_yyerror():  syntax error: syntax error, unexpected '<token>', expecting 
$end; Input:
""Example name" <sip:[email protected]>":".*<(.+)>"
  ^
(caret points at letter E)

If I use the QUOTE() function to quote the double quotes before applying the 
regexp, like this:

exten => _X.,n,Set(FROM_SIPURI=$[${QUOTE(${T1})}:${RX}])

... I get this syntax error:

[2016-08-08 14:53:35] WARNING[1653][C-00000000]: ast_expr2.fl:470 ast_yyerror: 
ast_yyerror():  syntax error: syntax error, unexpected '<token>', expecting 
$end; Input:
"\"Example name\" <sip:[email protected]>":".*<(.+)>"
   ^
(caret points at letter E)

Currently I am working around the issue by using REPLACE() to strip all 
double-quotes, but I believe this is not a correct solution. How should I write 
the $[ expression so that the double-quotes are handled correctly?
