Hello all,
I have been searching thru all docs that I can find on wiki and such but can
not get an answer. I am trying to collect a date from user input in the
form of digits dialed from the phone to use in an agi script to do a
database look up. I have tried to use "Get Data filename, timeout,
maxdigits " in the agi script. In * console I get message saying playing
filename but it exits as soon as it starts. Could I collect the digits some
how before going to script and then send as an arg maybe?
in extensions.conf:
exten => 657, 1, Ringing
exten => 657, 2, wait(5);
exten => 657, 3, BackGround(1)
exten => 657, 4, agi,callid.c|${CALLERIDNUM}
the important part of the agi script:
printf("GET DATA abandon-all-hope, 5000, 6 \"\"\n");
the message in * console:
Executing AGI("Zap/1-1", "callid.c|1111111111") in new
stack
-- Launched AGI Script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/callid.c
-- Playing 'abandon-all-hope' (language 'en')
== Spawn extension (default, 657, 4) exited non-zero on 'Zap/1-1'
agi_request: callid.c
-- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'
What am I doing Wrong?
Thank you very much for any help
John Millican (a newbie obviously)

I thought I could write something similar and compile then call from dial plan. What I get is a lot of errors about unreferenced ast_app_streamfile, ast_app_getdata, ... among others. I used all the same includes in Marks script but still no go. I tried to find where these references came from in the apps_privacy and could not find them. I typically code in C++ with QT 3.3 and would like to be able to use the DB drivers that I have in QT for PostgreSQL since I will be querying an app on a separate machine for customer info based on callid and a date in the form of digits dialed by the caller. Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated. My original plan was an AGI script, is this a bad idea? Call levels will most likly not be very high. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Thanks all for your patience. I found my answer in a post on a totally unrelated question (I new if I kept reading all posts ...) saw this in a post for call forwarding. exten => *72,1,Answer exten => *72,2,Wait(1) exten => *72,3,BackGround(allison7/please-enter-your) exten => *72,4,Playback(extension) exten => *72,5,Playback(then-press-pound) exten => *72,6,Playback(beep) exten => *72,7,Read(fromext) Had not seen anything on "Read" anywhere else, must have been looking in all the wrong places. this is a simple solution to my problem. I have been reading VOIP-info.org wiki, asterisk handbook, google searches. Can anyone point me to some other places that I can search through?
