1.1. Overview

This is mostly an example module. It implements text based operation (search, replace, append a.s.o). Many functions support xl_lib formating using xlog module.

1.1.1. Known Limitations

search ignores folded lines. For example, search("(From|f):.*@foo.bar") doesn't match the following From header field:

From: medabeda
 <sip:medameda@foo.bar>;tag=1234

1.2. Functions

1.2.1.  search(re)

Searches for the re in the message.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • re - Regular expression.

Example 1. search usage

...
if ( search("[Ss][Ee][Rr]" ) { /*....*/ };
...

1.2.2.  search_append(re, txt)

Searches for the first match of re and appends txt after it.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • re - Regular expression.

  • txt - String to be appended. Xl_lib formatting supported.

Example 2. search_append usage

...
search_append("[Ss]er", " blabla");

1.2.3.  replace(re, txt)

Replaces the first occurrence of re with txt.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • txt - String. Xl_lib formatting supported.

Example 3. replace usage

...
replace("ser", "Sip Express Router");
...

1.2.4.  subst('/re/repl/flags')

Replaces re with repl (sed or perl like).

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • '/re/repl/flags' - sed like regular expression. flags can be a combination of i (case insensitive), g (global) or s (match newline don't treat it as end of line).

Example 4. subst usage

...
# replace the uri in to: with the message uri (just an example)
if ( subst('/^To:(.*)sip:[^@]*@[a-zA-Z0-9.]+(.*)$/t:\1\u\2/ig') ) {};
...

1.2.5.  subst_uri('/re/repl/flags')

Runs the re substitution on the message uri (like subst but works only on the uri)

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • '/re/repl/flags' - sed like regular expression. flags can be a combination of i (case insensitive), g (global) or s (match newline don't treat it as end of line).

Example 5. subst usage

...
# adds 3463 prefix to numeric uris, and save the original uri (\0 match)
# as a parameter: orig_uri (just an example)
if (subst_uri('/^sip:([0-9]+)@(.*)$/sip:3463\1@\2;orig_uri=\0/i')){$
...

1.2.6.  subst_user('/re/repl/flags')

Runs the re substitution on the message uri (like subst_uri but works only on the user portion of the uri)

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • '/re/repl/flags' - sed like regular expression. flags can be a combination of i (case insensitive), g (global) or s (match newline don't treat it as end of line).

Example 6. subst usage

...
# adds 3463 prefix to uris ending with 3642 (just an example)
if (subst_user('/3642$/36423463/')){$
...

1.2.7.  append_to_reply(txt)

Append txt to the reply.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • txt - String. Xl_lib formatting supported.

Example 7. append_to_reply usage

1.2.11.  append_time()

Append "Date" header containing the current date and time to the reply generated by SER.

Example 11. is_present_hf usage

...
if (method == "REGISTER" ) {
    # Many user agents can use the Date header field
    # in 200 OK replies to REGISTER to synchronize
    # internal clock
