Hi,
This is the expected output. smsbox urlencodes these arguments since most of
the time it sends them to a url fom an sms-service. Besides, some of these
chars "*", "&", "+" are meaningfull to the shell, and it is not a bad idea
to urlencode them. Perl has zillions of functions to urldecode text. Just
use one of them. You can also try:
exec = perl test.pl %p %k
BR,
Nikos

Subject: Unwanted characters in sender phone number escape code output %q
and %p
Hi All
I'm getting unusual output in my escape codes %q and %p and I'd appreciate
some help if possible
from my conf file:
group = sms-service
keyword = test
exec = perl test.pl %q %k
omit-empty = true
(I know it's a bad idea to execute - i'll look into URL once I get this
working)
From my smsbox log:
2010-07-23 22:58:58 [11450] [4] DEBUG: executing sms-service 'perl
test_pizza.pl %2B14437661234 test'
My issue is that I want the %2B dropped from the sender number. A plus (+)
would be fine, but the %2B is causing errors. I've tried this with both %q
and %p - both have the same problem
Thanks!
Scott
