asterisk users - Jul 2010 - How can get user inputs from called party after dial?

Hi,
I want to dial a party, play him a message and wait for his input, i.e. DTMF
digits and use them to control the rest of the dial plan.

How do I do it?

If I use Dial it will not return until the end of the call, isn't it?

Thanks,

Eyal

You need read():

<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Read>It's as easy as:

exten => s,n,Read(variable,,11)
exten => s,n,NoOp(${variable})

Above will take up to 11 digits input by user and will display it back in
NoOP on Asterisk CLI.
