Asterisk and LUA app.Read()

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi,

I can’t seen to be able to use app.Read() :

pin = "0000";
pin2 = "0000";

pin2 = app.Read(pin, "", 4)

At the end, pin2 is equal to nil, and pin remains 0000, no matter what I enter as a pin. It’s probably a pass-by-reference vs pass-by-value issue. Any hints on this ?

Regards,

Igmar

It seems that the result of app.Read() get’s dumped to a channel var, whose name is the string value of the first argument.

I know its too late but hey it may help someone passing by like me .

to get the variable you should do it like this

 app.Read(pin, "", 4)
 pin2 =channel.pin:get()
