When an outside callers hits my system, I play them a welcome message and ask that they enter an extension. If the extension is invalid, it tells them so, and asks them to try again. The relevant logic for this is:
[extensions] exten => _2XXX,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}) ; exten => i,1,Playback,invalid exten => i,n,Goto(incoming,_NXXNXXXXXX,1) ;
[incoming] exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Answer exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,Background(welcome) ; play welcome msg & ask for extension exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,WaitExten(5) ; Wait for extension
This works fine, however, there is one special case that I would like to handle differently. If the caller inadvertently presses the # key following the extension, I would like to discard the # and then send the call back onto the stack. I know how to strip the #, but I can't find another command like WaitExten that will reprocess the call as new.
Use Goto. Since you have a pattern of _2XXX if they dial 2XXX# then Asteirsk will process the call as 2XXX and just discard the # since it's not listening for DTMF since it's already hit the Dial.
Same for _NXXNXXXXXX.
