EVAL()

Synopsis

Evaluate stored variables

Description

Using EVAL basically causes a string to be evaluated twice. When a variable or expression is in the dialplan, it will be evaluated at runtime. However, if the results of the evaluation is in fact another variable or expression, using EVAL will have it evaluated a second time.

Example: If the Example: If the None - MYVAR contains Example: If the None - OTHERVAR, then the result of ${EVAL( Example: If the None - MYVAR )} in the dialplan will be the contents of Example: If the None - OTHERVAR. Normally just putting Example: If the None - MYVAR in the dialplan the result would be Example: If the None - OTHERVAR.
