How can I loop through something x number of times in the dialplan? i.e. if I get an invalid extension I want to re-play the menu, but not forever. Maybe 3 tries or something. I'm pretty sure that I've seen it before, where you can increment a variable and do "Gotos" based on it. But I've searched the Asterisk handbook, searched the user archives, and Googled for it, and can't find it now. Anyone have a link with an example of this? Thanks.
