asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Record() : How to get filename created with %d?

Hello

	About Record(), ATFT 2nd Edition says that "if the filename
contains %d, these characters will be replaced with a number
incremented by one each time the file is recorded."

Problem is, the documentation doesn't explain how to refer to this
filename later in the dialplan :-/

In this particular example, I want to move the file to the web
server's /htdocs so users can listen to the file through their web
browser (ie. with no need to be connected to *), and used TryExec() to
do this:

==========exten => cid,1,Set(CALLERIDNAME = ${DB(cidname/${CALLERIDNUM})})
;Is there a way to use Background() without using _[1-4] below?
exten => cid,n,Background(/root/asterisk_sound_files/main_menu)
exten => cid,n,Hangup()

exten => _[1-4],1,Set(SOFTWARE=${IF($[${EXTEN}=1]?word)})
exten => _[1-4],n,Set(SOFTWARE=${IF($[${EXTEN}=2]?excel)})
exten => _[1-4],n,Set(SOFTWARE=${IF($[${EXTEN}=3]?powerpoint)})
exten => _[1-4],n,Set(SOFTWARE=${IF($[${EXTEN}=4]?support)})
exten => _[1-4],n,Verbose(Choice = ${SOFTWARE})

exten => _[1-4],n,Playback(/root/asterisk_sound_files/leave_msg)
exten => _[1-4],n,Record(/tmp/msg%d.wav,3,30)

;move wav to lighttpd's htdocs
;How to get filename?
exten => _[1-4],n,TrySystem(mv /tmp/msg%d.wav /var/www/asterisk/)
;ExecIf fails running Verbose()
exten => _[1-4],n,ExecIf($[ ${SYSTEMSTATUS} != "SUCCESS"
],Verbose,Failed moving WAV file)

exten => _[1-4],n,Playback(/root/asterisk_sound_files/bye_bye)
exten => _[1-4],n,Hangup()
==========
Any idea?

Thank you.

 TrySystem is passing the cmd to (bash) shell, just give it a file match
 skeleton as long as you don't have other  "msgNNN.wav" files that
 shouldn't be moved.

 so

 exten => _[1-4],n,TrySystem(mv /tmp/msg*.wav /var/www/asterisk/)

 should move the file(s), escape the * if needed using  \*

I'm a little surprised at the variety of band-aid suggestions that have
been posted. All you need to do is refer to "show application record",
and you uwill see that the generated filename is available by using
${RECORDED_FILE}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  -= Info about application 'Record' =- 

[Synopsis]
Record to a file

[Description]
  Record(filename.format|silence[|maxduration][|options])

Records from the channel into a given filename. If the file exists it will
be overwritten.
- 'format' is the format of the file type to be recorded (wav, gsm,
etc).
- 'silence' is the number of seconds of silence to allow before
returning.
- 'maxduration' is the maximum recording duration in seconds. If missing
  or 0 there is no maximum.
- 'options' may contain any of the following letters:
     'a' : append to existing recording rather than replacing
     'n' : do not answer, but record anyway if line not yet answered
     'q' : quiet (do not play a beep tone)
     's' : skip recording if the line is not yet answered
     't' : use alternate '*' terminator key instead of default
'#'

If filename contains '%d', these characters will be replaced with a
number
incremented by one each time the file is recorded. A channel variable
named RECORDED_FILE will also be set, which contains the final filemname.

Use 'show file formats' to see the available formats on your system

User can press '#' to terminate the recording and continue to the next
priority.

If the user should hangup during a recording, all data will be lost and the
application will teminate.
