I have a smilar problem : I have a default context for an interface,
where I'd like to prefix all incoming calls DID numbers (basically,
the telco sends the last 4 digits dialed, I want to fully qualify my
E164 number before doing extensions processing).
I don't know much (yet!) about Asterisk, so I thought something like
exten = s,1,Prefix(3312345)
include = my_local_e164_extensions
would do the trick. Unfortunatly, if the ${EXTEN} was 6060 at that
time, I get a new extension as s6060 (instead of 33123456060). Is it
supposed to be this way ?
So instead I had to do something like
exten = _,1,Prefix(3312345)
include = my_local_e164_extension
which works fine, except that now I'm at the 2 level in the context,
and I had to modify my_local_e164 extension context accordingly.
Does somebody know of a better way to do it ?
Thanks.

The lines in a context get reordered. If you want to force the order
of those lines, put the exten lines in separate contexts and include
them... something like this:
[some-context]
include = prefix
include = my_local_e164_extension
[prefix]
exten = _,1,Prefix(3312345)
I don't know if that will solve your problem, but it is something to
consider.

My problem is that the exten lines in my_local_e164_extension still
have to start at 2, since prefix used the 1 position, and that's
what I'd like to avoid by using s.
To do that, I put immediate=yes on my PRI in zapata.conf, but
unfortunatly the Prefix command will use s as the extension, and
generate a new extension like 3316918s, which is not really nice.
Is there any way ta manipulate ${EXTEN} as a variable, rather that
wich the Prefix function ? If so, I haven't found out.

You could always do something like this:
exten = 2,1,Dial(WHEREVER,3312345${EXTEN})
or assign it to a new variable:
exten = 2,1,SetVar(NEWEXTEN=3312345${EXTEN})
exten = 2,2,Dial(WHEREVER,${NEWEXTEN})
If I still don't have a grasp on what you're trying to accomplish,
could you post your extensions.conf?

With immediate=yes you won't be capturing your DID information. So
turn it back to no. Then do a pattern match in your [prefix] context.
Something like below.
[prefix]
exten = _,1,Goto(my_local_e164_extension,3312345${EXTEN},1)
This will do the proper jump and get you back to priority 1 as you want.
It also eliminates the need for an include into this context.

[Asterisk-Users] Prefix the * character
Any ideas on how to do this one? FWD requires an * on certain calls as a prefix character, but I cannot seem to be able to get Prefix(*) to add that to the front of the extension that is dialed... Setting up an extension that dials (SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) works just fine, but in trying to add the prefix to a dialed number, it acts as if the Prefix command was not even there, ie: exten = 1,1,Prefix(*) exten = *1,2,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) would dial [EMAIL PROTECTED], and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any ideas?

Prefix is an older application which was more useful prior to being
able to manipulate variables (the days of BYEXTENSION instead of
${EXTEN}). Instead, do:
Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

Thanks! I actually had tried this to no avail, but then noticed after
digging through that it was in fact using the wrong entry to begin
with... An simpler match was being made, and so it never got to that
part of the dialplan...
Thanks again!
