Man, if I could only learn to read... I "looked" at this page 5 times and never saw the plain as day answer to my question. >From the wiki; "Inheritance of Channel Variables Prepending a single _ character to a variables name in SetVar will cause that variable to be inherited by channels created by the main channel. eg. when using Dial(Local/...); once inherited these variables will not be further inherited. Prepending two _ characters will cause them to be inherited indefinitelty. (Only works in CVS HEAD, not yet implemented in Asterisk 1.0.9.) Note that for retrieval purposes these variable names do not need to include the underscores. [TestInherit] exten => 100,1,SetVar(__FOO=5) exten => 100,2,Dial(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => test,1,NoOp(${FOO}) will result in FOO being inherited. Without the underscores, the new local channel would start with a clean slate." _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
