What file is it? Normaly, my dialplan ist read in textmode from /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf. Sure, I can insert a new line with a hex-editor into the textfile, but then the line got wrapped: WARNING[1450]: pbx_config.c:1519 pbx_load_config: No closing parenthesis found? ' SendText(' Maybe, is there a way to put new line into a variable? Set(VARIABLE='\n') also don't work. But maybe I can read a \n from a file into a variable (with an agi-script)?
