Intuitively, a Transformation is a function that is applied to a variable(script variable, pseudo-variable, AVP, static string) to get a special value from it. The input value is not altered.

Examples of using different kinds of variables in OpenSIPS script:

# check if username in From header is equal with username in To header
if ($fU == $tU) {
   ...
}

# Request-URI username based processing
switch ($rU) {
   case "1234":
      ...
   break;
   case "5678":
      ...
   break;
   default:
     ...
}

# assign an integer value to an variable
$var(gw_count) = 1;

# assign a string value to an AVP
$avp(server) = "opensips";

# store the Request-URI in a variable
$var(ru_backup) = $ru;

# concat "sip:" + From username + "@" + To domain in a script variable x
$var(x) = "sip:" + $fU + "@" + $td;


The transformations are intended to facilitate access to different attributes of variables (like strlen of value, parts of value, substrings) or complete different value of variables (encoded in hexa, md5 value, escape/unescape value for DB operations...).

A transformation is represented in between '{' and '}' and follows the name of a variable. When using transformations, the variable name and transformations must be enclosed in between '(' and ')'.

Example:

# the length of From URI ($fu is pseudo-variable for From URI)

$(fu{s.len})

Multiple transformations can be applied to a variable at the same time.

# the length of escaped 'Test' header body

$(hdr(Test){s.escape.common}{s.len})

All transformations, unless otherwise specified, will return NULL in case of error or unsuccessful operation (e.g looking for an nonexistent parameter in an URI with the "{uri.param,name}" transformation). Also, NULL is accepted as input for transformations in order to support chaining with a previous one that would return NULL.

The transformations can be used anywhere, being considered parts of script variables support -- in xlog, avpops or other modules' functions and parameters, in right side assignment expressions or in comparisons.

IMPORTANT: To learn what variables can be used with transformations see Scripting variables list.

1. String Transformations

The name of these transformation starts with 's.'. They are intended to apply string operations to variables.

Available transformations in this class:

1.1 {s.len} 🔗

Return strlen of variable value

$var(x) = "abc";
if($(var(x){s.len}) == 3)
{
   ...
}

1.2 {s.int} 🔗

Converts the initial part of the given string to an integer value. Returns 0 if there were no digits at all.

$var(dur) = "2868.12 sec";
if ($(var(dur){s.int}) < 3600) {
  ...
}

1.3 {s.md5} 🔗

Returns the MD5 hash of the given input.

xlog("MD5 over From username: $(fU{s.md5})\n");

1.4 {s.reverse} 🔗

Returns the input string in revers order.

$var(forward) = "onetwothree";
$var(reverse) = $(var(forward){s.reverse}); //Contains "eerhtowteno";

1.5 {s.substr,offset,length} 🔗

Return substring starting at offset having size of 'length'. If offset is negative, then it is counted from the end of the value, -1 being the last char. In case of positive value, 0 is first char. Length must be positive, in case of 0, substring to the end of variable value is returned. offset and length can be a varibale as well.

Example:

$var(x) = "abcd";
$(var(x){s.substr,1,0}) = "bcd"

1.6 {s.select,index,separator} 🔗

Return a field from the value of a variable. The field is selected based on separator and index. The separator must be a character used to identify the fields. Index must be a integer value or a variable. If index is negative, the count of fields starts from end of value, -1 being last field. If index is positive, 0 is the first field. Note that if a field is empty, an empty string will be returned and not NULL.

Example:

$var(x) = "12,34,56";
$(var(x){s.select,1,,}) => "34" ;

$var(x) = "12,34,56";
$(var(x){s.select,-2,,}) => "34"

1.16 {s.toupper} 🔗

Return string with upper case ASCII letters.

1.17 {s.index} 🔗

Searches for one string within another starting at the beginning of the first string. Returns starting index of the string found or NULL if not found. The optional index specifies the offset to begin the search at in the string. Negative offsets are supported and will wrap.


$var(strtosearch) = 'onetwothreeone';
$var(str) = 'one';

# Search the string starting at 0 index
$(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str)}) # will return 0
$(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str), 0}) # Same as above
$(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str), 3}) # returns 11

# Negative offset
$(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str), -11}) # Same as above

# Negative wrapping offset
$(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str), -25}) # Same as above

#Test for existence of string in another
if ($(var(strtosearch){s.index, $var(str)}) != NULL)
    xlog("found $var(sstr) in $var(strtosearch)\n");

1.18 {s.rindex} 🔗

Searches for one string within another starting at the end of the first string. Returns starting index of the string found or NULL if not found. The optional index specifies an offset to start the search before, e.g the start of the found string will be before the supplied offset. Negative offsets are supported and will wrap.


$(var(strtosearch){s.rindex, $var(str)}) # will return 11
$(var(strtosearch){s.rindex, $var(str), -3}) # will return 11
$(var(strtosearch){s.rindex, $var(str), 11}) # will return 11
$(var(strtosearch){s.rindex, $var(str), -4}) # will return 0

1.19 {s.fill.left, tok, len} 🔗

3. VIA Transformations

These transformations parse Via headers and all starts with via.. The value of the variable is considered to be a SIP Via header. This transformation returns parts of the via header (see struct via_body). If the requested part is missing, the returned value is an empty string. Transformation will fail (with script error) if variable holding the Via header is empty. Unless otherwise specified in descriptions below, the result of transform is a string (not an integer).

Examples:

    $var(upstreamtransport) = $(hdr(Via)[1]{via.transport}{s.tolower});
    $var(upstreamip) = $(hdr(Via)[1]{via.param,received});

   {
      $var(first_stream) = $(rb{sdp.stream,0});
      xlog("First stream is $var(first_stream)\n");
   }

if (is_method("INVITE"))
   {
      $var(audio_stream) = $(rb{sdp.stream,audio});
      xlog("Audio stream is $var(audio_stream)\n");
   }

8.3 {sdp.stream-delete} 🔗

Returns the specified SDP body with some of its streams deleted. The stream to be deleted can be specified using its index, or using on its media type. If specified as index, it starts at 0, but it can also be negative, with -1 being the last stream. If specified as media type, all streams matching will be deleted! If the media type or index does not exist, NULL is returned.

Example:

if (is_method("INVITE"))
   {
      $var(new_body) = $(rb{sdp.stream-delete,0});
      xlog("SDP body without first stream is $var(new_body)\n");
   }

if (is_method("INVITE"))
   {
      $var(new_body) = $(rb{sdp.stream-delete,video});
      xlog("SDP body without video stream is $var(new_body)\n");
   }

9. Regular Expression Transformations

The name of the transformation starts with "re.". The input can be any string.

9.1 {re.subst,reg_exp} 🔗

The reg_exp parameter can either be a plain string or a variable. The format of the reg_exp is :

    /posix_match_expression/replacement_expression/flags

The flags can be

    i - match ignore case
    s - match within multi-lines strings
    g - replace all matches

Example:

$var(reg_input)="abc";
$var(reg) = "/a/A/g";
xlog("Applying reg exp $var(reg) to $var(reg_input) : $(var(reg_input){re.subst,$var(reg)})\n");

...
...
xlog("Applying reg /b/B/g to $var(reg_input) : $(var(reg_input){re.subst,/b/B/g})\n");

10. Examples

Within a variable, many transformation can be applied, being executed from left to right.

  • The length of the value of parameter at position 1 (remember 0 is first position, 1 is second position)
$var(x) = "a=1;b=22;c=333";
$(var(x){param.value,$(var(x){param.name,1})}{s.len}) = 2
  • Test if whether is un-registration or not
if(is_method("REGISTER") && is_present_hf("Expires") && $(hdr(Expires){s.int})==0)
    xlog("This is a de-registration\n");
