I am trying to read in a 10 digit number, however the read() command always causes the call to be immediately disconnected. I was not passing in an audio file to play, as it seemed optional from the docs. When looking in the logs, I see in error in file.c about not being able to load the file in ulaw format or any format at all. To try and appease the function I passed in a standard sound such as ‘beep’ or ‘your’ and I receive the same error, file.c - beep cannot be found. However, when placing Playback(beep) on the proceeding line of the dialplan, it will play the sound fine, and then exit with the same read error. My syntax was
Read(toNum, , 10) also tried with | instead of ,
and
Read(toNum, beep, 10)
My sounds are in the default directory. I can post specific dial plan and log text when I get home, but anyone have an idea why Read wouldn’t work? Thanks.

Read(toNum) works, but as soon as I pass any more parameters it hangs up, even though it says --Accepting a maximum of 10 digits.
Why is it looking for a file, and why cant it find any of them?

Read(toNum) should accept any number for input while “#” hasnt been entered.
If you are still getting “Accepting 10 digits”, did you remember to do a “dialplan reload” at *CLI> ?
miles_cuc: I want to read in 10 digits, that is not the problem. The problem is that passing any parameters besides the variable name causes a failure.
davevg: Thanks for the help, however it did not work. Same error:

perhaps I can specify the sound directory in asterisk.conf even tho its the default? Do you know the parameter I would add to the [directories] section? It seems like something is broken tho, since Playback works and Read shouldn’t need a sound.
well it was the spaces. Now I know better. Thank you very much.
Oh and what does ‘i’ mean in the options parameter? I see skip and answer as the options. Also where is the most up to date documentation? This is the best Ive found : asteriskguru.com/tutorials/read.html
