Hi Guys!

Here's how I do this:

Item defs:

|Item:Caller ID Name            Type:Caller-ID-Name
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Name         :?
|Item:Caller ID Number          Type:Caller-ID-Number
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Number       :?
|Item:Caller Name               Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :
|Item:Caller Number             Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :
|Item:"?"                       Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:Idle                                      Backup:Yes
|	Text         :?
|Item:Text to Log               Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :
|Item:"at"                      Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :at


Excerpt from my Phone System event:

|       BEGINIF Caller ID Interface     Is Not Now      None
|       Do      Caller Name             T1<-T1          Caller ID Name
|       Do      Caller Number           T1<-T1          Caller ID Number


Excerpt from my Caller ID event:

|       If 	    Caller Name             Is/T1           "?"
|       Then    Text to Log             T1/A<-T1        Caller Number
|       Else    Text to Log             T1/A<-T1        Caller Name
|       Then    Text to Log             Set             <Space>
|       Then    Text to Log             T1/A<-T1        "at"
|       Then    Text to Log             Set             <Space>
|       Then    Text to Log             T1/A<-T1        Caller Number
|       Do 	    Text to Log 		    Set             Log


Hope this helps.

Cheers!

What you have to do is to exit ECS, and hand-code in a text-item with the
value "?".  There doesn't seem to be any other way.

Then, I also couldn't just compare my Caller-ID-Name item directly to my
Question-Mark item.  It just wouldn't work... but if you clear a temp text
item (Text-B below) and then use the Set/Char operator to copy the first
character from Caller-IC-Name to it, you can then do a Is/T1 comparison.  I
don't know why I had to do it this way... but then again, I'm pretty new at
ECS.

My code is below:

|Item:Question Mark Type:Text Acc:User/User
| Initial State:(None) Backup:No
| Text :?
|Item:Text-B Type:Text Acc:User/User
| Initial State:(None) Backup:No
| Text :T
|Item:Empty Text Item Type:Text Acc:User/User
| Initial State:(None) Backup:No
| Text :

| BEGINIF Caller-ID-C Is Not Now None
| Do Text-A T1<-T1 MSG:Call From
| Do Text-A Set <Space>
| Do Text-B T1<-T1 Empty Text Item
| Do Text-B Set/Char Caller-ID-Name
|
| Do Text-A T1<-T1 MSG:Call From
| Do Text-A Set <Space>
|
| If Text-B Is/T1 Question Mark
| Then Text-A T1/A<-T1 Caller-ID-Number
| Else Text-A T1/A<-T1 Caller-ID-Name
|
| Do Text-A Set Speak
|
| If Text-B Is/T1 Question Mark
| Else Text-A Set <Space>
| Then Text-A Set a
| Then Text-A Set t
| Then Text-A Set <Space>
| Then Text-A T1/A<-T1 Caller-ID-Number
|
| Do Text-A Set Log
|
| ENDIF
