Hi,


I created a dummy dialplan  where I ask the user to enter the age. 


[macro-age]
exten => s,1,Background(my/age)      ;;Play recorded message to enter age
exten => s,n,WaitExten(10)                 
exten => _XX,1,Set(AGE=${EXTEN})    ;; this line is not executing, instead dialplan is terminating with error given below.
exten => s,n,NoOp(${AGE})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN(${AGE})} > 0]?notEmpty)
exten => s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => s(notEmpty),n,Background(my/thank-you)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)





When I receive call and tries to enter the digits (86 lets say), it only accept just first digit and terminates even before considering second digit.
Error message :
 WARNING[5726][C-0000000a]: pbx.c:6696 __ast_pbx_run: Invalid extension '8', but no rule 'i' or 'e' in context 'testmacro'


Please suggest what might be wrong.

The first issue I see is you are attempting to insert your pattern match in the middle of your 's' extension, That's going to break your 's' extension.

The second issue is that you are matching on XX which will match two digits, You need to match on _X instead if you are attempting to match on the number 8.


I recommend you look into 'read' instead of trying to do a pattern match.

​Thank you all for your suggestions.


1. [macro-age] is a macro and not an extension badly named.


2. I am able to use Read to fulfill the purpose but we can't use Read() after Background(). To use read we need Playback() [ am I right?]. But Playback do not provide barge-in facility i.e. user have to listen whole message then only his inputs will be accepted and if he entered input during the time recording is played , the input will be lost. 
So if using Background() [which return the control immediately] I have to use _XX extension.


3. So basically I want to create a dial-plan where user is asked to input multi-digit value and he can enter it without listening complete message (if the user knows the message already)​

READ application should do the job for you


[Syntax]
Read(variable[,filename[&filename2[&...]][,maxdigits[,options[,attempts[,timeout]]]]])


i normally use first three arguments i.e. variable name, filename to play and max digits


you might consider using "waitexten" before "read" though

​Thanks. I will try it. Meanwhile I was trying below code.


call goes to 'test' context and from there is passed to macro 'age'.

In 'age' macro when I am using any patter to accept even single digit, its not working. So instead of using pattern I hardcoded the extension, but still when I am pressing the key '2' it is throwing below error.

Please note that when diaplan execution is inside macro 'age', it searches the extension inside its parent context 'test'...why? am I do something wrong?



[test]

exten=>s,1,Macro(age)


[macro-age]
exten=>s,1,Background(my/age)
exten=>s,2,WaitExten(15)
exten=>s,3,NoOp(${AGE})
exten=>s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN(${AGE})} > 0]?notEmpty)
exten=>s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten=>s(notEmpty),n,Background(my/thank-you)
exten=>s,n,Wait(1)

exten=>2,1,(TEMP=${EXTEN})   ;; exten=>_X,1,(TEMP=${EXTEN}) is also not working
exten=>2,n,Read(AGE,,1,10)
exten=>2,n,Set(AGE=${${TEMP}*10+${AGE}})
exten=>2,n,Goto(s,3)
