Arrrgh! You are correct, of course. I hadn't realised you could do it that way - I was assuming it was a variable that was returned to the dialplan/channel.
Some of the finer points of AGI are still a slight mystery to me! Thank you very much - working perfectly now, with your help and the following code. Thank you again. escape_digits = str("*") pressed_digit=agi.stream_file(promptFile,escape_digits) if pressed_digit == "*": sys.exit(0) On 11 October 2016 at 09:31, Lefteris Zafiris <z...@fastmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, 10 Oct 2016, at 22:47, Jonathan H wrote: >> For reasons best known to myself, I call a python agi (PYST2 - love >> it!) which streams a series of very short files in quick succession. >> >> Like this: >> >> escape_digits = str("0") >> agi.stream_file(promptFile,escape_digits) >> >> and this is what I see on the AGI debug: >> >> <Local/s@root-00000061;2>AGI Tx >> 200 result=0 endpos=6784 >> <Local/s@root-00000061;2>AGI Rx << STREAM FILE >> /home/DefaultPrompts/en_GB/female/wx/low "0" 0 >> -- <Local/s@root-00000061;2> Playing >> '/home/DefaultPrompts/en_GB/female/wx/low.alaw' (escape_digits=0) >> (sample_offset 0) (language 'en_GB') >> <Local/s@root-00000061;2>AGI Tx >> 200 result=48 endpos=1440 >> >> The FIRST line is a file that finished normally, with result=0, the >> LAST line is a file that was interrupted, and receives result=48 from >> asterisk. >> >> Yes, zero stops the file playing, but it just goes onto the next file. >> >> So, how do I get that variable?
