Hi how to flush user input before READ()? I wrote a small script to ask for user password before granting access to outside, but some telefones memorize the full user input, including "#". So, when the user press redial, for instance 5556789#123, asterisk accepts the number and the password "123" and gives access to the outside word to whomever redials that terminal. Any hints?

How about a read() to a dummy variable with a 1 second timeout to consume
the octothorpe and password?

It is an odd solution but i'll give it a try.

Thanx;

To close the thread, the solution did "flush" the input as a side effect of the
short timeout.

Thank you mr. Edwards.

If 1 second is too long, you could write an AGI to use the 'wait for
digit' AGI command which allows the timeout to be specified in
milliseconds.

If I understand it the OP has un-consumed input and is just looking for
the shortest possible time to read it. Would a read with a timeout of
zero do the job or would Asterisk optimize away the call?

Good idea. I was looking at the 'read()' dox for 1.2 which doesn't say
much about the timeout values -- only that if it is 0, the default is
used. The default may be changed using the TIMEOUT() function. Maybe
setting the default to 0 and specifying 0 in read() may be fruitful.

More modern Asterisks (11.17) say the timeout can be a floating point
number. Maybe setting it to 0.1 (or 0.01) may do the trick.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to play right now.
