I am using a context to change values in a DB. Currently in my context, I
am passing it to
exten => s,1,WaitExten(7) ; 7 seconds to input
exten => s,n,Set(NEW_VAR=${EXTEN}) ;Here is my problem. This is the only
way I know how to 'grab' user input, which was normally from ${EXTEN}
but
I realize this won't work for extension 's'......
The short google search I did didn't turn up anything concrete.
Thank you!
-Tom

Exten => s,1,Read(NEW_VAR,,7,skip,1,5)
This will load NEW_VAR with 7 or fewer digits in 5 seconds.
