asterisk users - Jun 2015 - Variable variables

Hi

Can asterisk handle asterisk variable variables?

For example:

If I were to set

FOO300=BAR111

and I had something in a dialplan like:

_3XX,1,NoOp(${FOO${EXTEN}})

And the user had entered 300, it would output BAR111

We are using asterisk 1.8

Thanks in advance

Ish

Yes.

1) Rather than relying on the 'side effect' of the noop() application,
you
should use the application specifically designed for the purpose of 
outputting to the console, verbose().

2) You could have had your answer in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours if you 
had just tried it yourself.
