Description:The following example fails:
exten => 123,1,Set(foo=1 2 3 4 5)
exten => 123,n,Set(foo=${CUT(foo,' ',2)})

which means that instead of returning the second space separated field, CUT returns the whole string.

A work-around is to replace the ' apostrophy sign by double quotes like:

exten => 123,1,Set(foo=1 2 3 4 5)
exten => 123,n,Set(foo=${CUT(foo," ",2)})

This correctly returns 2.

Nowhere is it documented that placing the delimiter between apostrophe signs will do what you want.  In fact, the suggested method in the documentation is to use the backslash character to specify the character in hexadecimal or octal.

In fact, what you've done here is to specify the delimiter as the apostrophe.

As Tilghman reported, this does not appear to be an issue.  And will be closing as a result.
