asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Where is the Prefix() application in Asterisk 1.2.1 ?

Hi,

i am trying to use the Prefix() application in my dialplan but ...it is not 
there:

"pbx.c:1690 pbx_extension_helper: No application 'Prefix' for
extension
(test, 1233, 1)"

My entry in extensions.conf is the following:

[outgoing-calls]
exten => _12xx,1,Prefix(0)
exten => _012xx,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN}|30,r)

As i also see in my Asterisk 1.2.1 there is no prefix() application.

localhost*CLI> show applications like Prefix
    -= Matching Asterisk Applications =-
    -= 0 Applications Matching =-
localhost*CLI> show applications like prefix
    -= Matching Asterisk Applications =-
    -= 0 Applications Matching =-


I read somewhere that the prefix command is only in CVS-HEAD...   Is this 
true?

Thank you,

Budoka.

Looks a plausible explanation:-

asterisk*CLI> show applications like Prefix
    -= Matching Asterisk Applications =-
                Prefix: Prepend leading digits
    -= 1 Applications Matching =-
asterisk*CLI> show version
Asterisk CVS HEAD built by root@xxxxxxxxx.net on a i686 running Linux on
2005-10-13 15:42:41 UTC

Hi ,

thank you for your answer,

If Prefix() command is only in CVS-HEAD, then how can you prepend leading 
digits in a stable version?

It does not make any sense not to have this feature in a version downloaded 
from thw Digium FTP site...

Budoka.
