====== Kamailio SIP Server v5.1.x (stable): Transformations ======

<code>

**Transformation** is basically a function that is applied to a pseudo-variable (PV) to get a property of it. The value of PV is not affected at all.

Transformations are implemented by various modules, most of them being in **pv** module.

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

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

<code>
# the length of From URI ($fu is PV for From URI)

$(fu{s.len})
</code>

Many transformations can be applied in the same time to a PV.

<code>
# the length of escaped 'Test' header body

$(hdr(Test){s.escape.common}{s.len})
</code>

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

===== String Transformations =====

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

Available transformations in this class:


==== {s.len} ====

Return strlen of PV value

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

==== {s.int} ====

Return integer value of a string-represented number

<code>
$var(x) = "1234";
if($(var(x){s.int})==1234) {
  ...
}
</code>

==== {s.md5} ====

Return md5 over PV value

<code>
xlog("md5 over From username: $(fU{s.md5})");
</code>

==== {s.sha256} ====

Return sha 256 over PV value

<code>
xlog("sha 256 over From username: $(fU{s.sha256})");
</code>

==== {s.sha384} ====

Return sha 384 over PV value

<code>
xlog("sha 384 over From username: $(fU{s.sha384})");
</code>

==== {s.sha512} ====

Return sha 512 over PV value

<code>
xlog("sha 512 over From username: $(fU{s.sha512})");
</code>

==== {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 PV 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 PV value is returned. offset and length can be PV as well.

Example:
<code>
$var(x) = "abcd";
$(var(x){s.substr,1,0}); => "bcd"
</code>

==== {s.select,index,separator} ====

Return a field from PV value. 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 PV. If index is negative, the count of fields starts from end of PV value, -1 being last field. If index is positive, 0 is the first field.

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

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


==== {s.encode.7bit} ====

Return encoding in 7Bit of PV value

==== {s.decode.7bit} ====

Return decoding of PV value in 7Bit

==== {s.encode.hexa} ====

Return encoding in hexa of PV value

==== {s.decode.hexa} ====

Return decoding from hexa of PV value

==== {s.encode.base58} ====

Return base58 encoding of PV value.

The set of base58 digits is:

<code>
123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz
</code>

Return base64 encoding of PV value
==== {s.decode.base64} ====

Decode base64 encoded PV and return value

==== {s.unescape.common} ====

   * enclose string in double quotes
   * escape double quotes with a second double quote

</code>

==== {s.numeric} ====

Removes all non-numeric parts of string.

Example:
<code>
$var(x) = "(040)1234/567-89";
$(var(x){s.numeric}) => "040123456789" ;
</code>

==== {s.tolower} ====

Return string with lower case ASCII letters.


==== {s.toupper} ====

Return string with upper case ASCII letters.

==== {s.strip,len} ====

$var(x) = "1234";
$var(y) = $(var(x){s.strip,2}); # resulted value is "34"
</code>

==== {s.striptail,len} ====

Return string after removing ending 'len' characters. Parameter 'len' can be positive integer or pseudo-variable holding a positive integer.

==== {s.prefixes[,len]} ====

Return series of comma separated prefixes of the pv. Parameter 'len' is optional and will limit the maximum prefix length.
