Re: [SR-Users] Unquoted values from #!defenv

It does appear that #!devenvs subsequently has problems if the environmental variable is already quoted, though.  I’ll put together an example and open a ticket for it.     *From:* Ben Kaufman *Sent:* Thursday, December 9, 2021 8:57 AM *To:* Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List &lt;sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org&gt; *Subject:* RE: [SR-Users] Unquoted values from #!defenv   Thank you.  It’s tested and working with this simple config:     #!KAMAILIO loadmodule "xlog" loadmodule "pv" loadmodule "evrexec" modparam("evrexec", "exec", "name=evrexec:timer;wait=1000;workers=1;") #!defenv HOME request_route{     forward(); } event_route[evrexec:timer] {     xlog("L_N", "HOME: " + HOME + "\n"); }     Regards, Kaufman     *From:* Daniel-Constantin Mierla &lt;miconda(a)gmail.com&gt; *Sent:* Thursday, December 9, 2021 3:55 AM *To:* Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List &lt;sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org&gt;rg>; Ben Kaufman &lt;bkaufman(a)bcmone.com&gt; *Subject:* Re: [SR-Users] Unquoted values from #!defenv   I pushed the code to enclose the value in between quotes.

So it does it it is written in the docs. There is #!substdefs witch can create a define with quoted value. Note that defines are standalone-token replacement, you can define an ID to a number, to a keyword (e.g., src_ip), to a quoted string or even a multi-line script snippet, like: #!define IDLOOP $var(i) = 0; \                 while($var(i)<5) { \                     xlog("++++ $var(i)\n"); \                     $var(i) = $var(i) + 1; \                 } See the core cookbook for more details.
