asterisk users - Jun 2019 - Find out which key ended recording?

Hello,

We have a need to record audio and allow the user to press any DTMF key to
end the recording. Currently we're using the AGI command "record
file"
which does allow us to specify which DTMF keys can end the recording.

However we also need to know *which* key actually ended the recording. Note
that only allowing # or * to end the recording won't work for us.

Does anyone know how we can tell which key ended the recording? Thanks in
advance for any help.

Here's a snippet from one of my AGIs:

// record the voice
                 exec_agi("RECORD FILE"
                           " %s"         // filename
                           " wav"        // format
                           " #*1234567890"
                                         // escape digits
                           " %d000"      // timeout in ms
                           " BEEP"       // BEEP
                         , recorded_path
                         , recording_limit
                         );

// should we abort?
                 if      ('*' == agi_environment.result)
                         {
                         agi_set_variable("STATUS", "*");
                         exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
                         }

// are we finished?
                 if      ('#' == agi_environment.result)
                         {
                         break;
                         }

Looks like agi_environment.result is your Huckleberry.

Hi Steve,

What language is that please? We're using Perl and so far I haven't
found
an equivalent there.

Thanks for your help.
