IsRedirectedFromByNumber()

Lua → VBScript

This function returns true if the call was redirected/transferred by a certain user (extension) or list of extensions, separated by ; (semikolon).

Please see the Introduction chapter for some usage instructions.

function IsRedirectedFromByNumber( sNumbers )
    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("------> IsRedirectedFromByNumber ( '" .. sNumbers .. "' )")

    local bReturn = false
    local sReturn = ""
    local sName   = ""

    local tNumbers = StringSplitToTable(sNumbers, ";")

    for i = 1, #tNumbers do
        PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Checking extension: " .. tNumbers[i])
        sName = GetUserNameFromExtension(tNumbers[i])
        PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Found username: " .. sName)

        if (sName ~= "") then

            if IsRedirectedFromByName(sName) then
                PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Call is redirected from this user")
                bReturn = true
                sReturn = tNumbers[i]
            else
                PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Call is not redirected from this user")
            end

        end

    end

    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("bReturn = " .. tostring(bReturn))
    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("sReturn = " .. sReturn)
    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("<------ IsRedirectedFromByNumber")

    return bReturn, sNumber
end

This function makes use of the function GetUserNameFromExtension() to get the username for a given extension, and also the function IsRedirectedFromByName() to then check if the call is redirected/transferred from that user. It makes also use of the Server Script API function PBXScript.OutputTrace() to write trace information into the SwyxServer trace file. It also uses the GSE build-in helper function StringSplitToTable() to find the caller number in the data from the file.

Please note: from SwyxWare v13.27 on it is possible to have call routing also for groups and not just users. This function can not be extended to identify the new groups as well, so it can identify users only.

This function was converted from VBScript into Lua from the initially posted version in this forum topic.
