Hi,
Greatly appreciate if some one help me with the application read().
asterisk*CLI> show application read

-= Info about application 'Read' =-
[Synopsis]:
Read a variable
[Description]:
Read(variable[|filename]): Reads a '#' terminated string of digits
from
the user, optionally playing a given filename first. Returns -1 on hangup
or
error and 0 otherwise.
I need to collect a variable length digit string terminated by # and then
pass those digits to an agi script. I can do this as follows (when I know
the length of the string).
exten => s,1,BackGround(please-enter-the-fourdigit-pin)
exten => s,2,DigitTimeout,5
exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,10
exten => _XXXX,1, agi, agiscript.agi
I would like to use Read() here, like
exten => s,1,BackGround(please-enter-the-pin)
exten => s,2,Background(followed-by-pound)
exten => s,3,DigitTimeout,5
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,10
exten => s,5,Read(${EXTEN})
exten => ???????/
This will read the digits but I do not know how to proceed after the
reading.
Thanks a bunch
Sathya

It seems like it is more appropriate that way. Read is for when you can accomplish what you want without jumping to AGI. Also, be wary that Background will allow a user to interupt the prompt with a digit press. This is the normal expected behavior. You would want to use playback. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
