Problems with dialplan

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hey,
how to do that properly?

[phone-is-calling]
exten => _X.,1,Set(TEST=12345)
exten => _X.,n,Goto(test1,${EXTEN},1) ;not working, patterns not allowed in next context
exten => _X.,n,Goto(test2,${EXTEN},1) ;not working, patterns not allowed in next context


[test1]
exten => _XXX.,1,Dial(...)
exten => _XXX.,n,Hangup()


[test2]
exten => _NNN.,1,Dial(...)
exten => _NNN.,n,Hangup()

I think you know what I want to do… (create variable before matching patterns)

Thanks in advance!

There is no attempt to match patterns in this dialplan.

Priority 3 is unreachable because it is preceded by an unconditional Goto, and isn’t the target of a Goto.

OK, this should be better for explaining:

[phone-is-calling]
exten => _X.,1,Set(TEST=12345)
include => test1
include => test2

How to set the variable at first?

4

That’s unusual, but should work as long as there is no exten line in either included file that matches the incoming extension, at priority 1.

5

I have two phones and I don’t want to match the patterns twice.

Another example:

[phone-is-calling]

exten => 1234,1,Dial(...)
exten => 1234,n,Hangup

exten => 12345,1,Dial(...)
exten => 12345,n,Hangup

exten => 123456,1,Dial(...)
exten => 123456,n,Hangup

How to set a variable before matching patterns? Unhappily it doesn’t work with the s-extension.

I don’t understand why this feature is not possible, is it?

I’m still having problems understanding you, but maybe:

exten=>_X.,1,Set(TEST=1234)

exten=> 1234,2,Dial(....)
same=>n,Hangup ; This line is redundant

exten=>12345,2,Dial(....)
same=>,n,Hangup; Redundant

exten=>123456,2,Dial(.....)
same=>n,Hangup ; Redundant

You can also do:

exten=>_X.,1,Set(TEST=1234)
same=>n,Goto(newcontext,${EXTEN},1)

[newcontext]
exten => 1234,1,Dial(...)
exten => 1234,n,Hangup

exten => 12345,1,Dial(...)
exten => 12345,n,Hangup

exten => 123456,1,Dial(...)
exten => 123456,n,Hangup

PS It would cause less confusion if your examples involved matching a pattern.

8

But what about patterns in [newcontext]? It didn’t work for me.

Please provide an example that actually contains a pattern, and the contents of the Asterisk log when verbosity is set to at least 5.

None of your examples have contained patterns (except _X.), so we cannot see how you are misusing them.
