dbg match spec

[Siri Hansen (EAB)]

Hi Chandru - Hope you are well!!

I'm sending from an address which is not member of the erlang list, so
this might not come out on the list - but anyway...

You could try


dbg:tpl(dbg_test, test, 1, [{[{'A','_','_'}],[],[]}]).

or

dbg:tpl(dbg_test, test, 1, [{['$1'],[{'==',{element,1,'$1'},'A'}],[]}]).


(But what is the 'call' command you put in the match spec body?)
