StripMSD( )

StripMSD( )

Strips the specified number of leading (most significant) digits from the current extension

---

 StripMSD(   count   ) 

Strips the leading count digits from the channel's associated extension and continues processing at the next priority for the resulting extension. So, for example, if priority 1 of extension 5551212 is StripMSD(3) , the first 3 digits will be stripped from 5551212 and the next step executed will be priority 2 of extension 1212. If you switch into an extension that has no priority n +1 (where n is the current priority), the PBX will treat it as though the user dialed an invalid extension.

Always returns .

This application is deprecated and has been replaced with the substring expression ${EXTEN: X : Y } .

  exten => 5551212,1,StripMSD(3)  exten => 1212,2,SayDigits(${EXTEN})     ; a better way of doing the same thing     exten => 5551234,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3})
