asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Cllecting digits.

Hi all.

    Is there a way to collect the digits dialled in asterisk and stored 
them in a variable ? I'm setting a submenu for the user to change his 
extension dial in treatment from a standard extension to something like 
'automatic transfer' and I need to ask for the number where to transfer 
the calls, pass it to an AGI and store it in a DB for later use.

    I also need to ask the user for his extension/password to validate 
it before making the change.

    Thank's in advance for any help.

basically, you need to do call transfer, right?
why not using pattern matching?
When your user wants to change is def. exten, it will
be dropped in a submenu (ie another context) with pattern matching.
from here you could match a number and store it in a db.

(the great capigod asterisk page)
