I've got an agi script that calls the directory function, which seems to work to a point. However, once the caller has selected an entry, I need my agi script to find out which extension was selected. I've RTFM'd and don't see that the extension is returned. Nor is a variable set, as far as I can see.Is there a way to get this information from the directory application?
No channel variable is set, but it would be a simple modification to the source code to return the extension instead of dialing it.
Another course of action would be to break your AGI into 2 parts and then 'catch' the exten in the 'dial-context.' For example, assuming you are using the 'default' voicemail context and the 'directory-test' dial-context, you would execute the directory application like (1.2):
exec_agi("exec directory default|directory-test"); and then in your dialplan you would have something like: [directory-test] exten = _!.,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}]) exten = _!.,n, agi(part-two,--extension=${EXTEN}) exten = _!.,n, hangup() -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
