I can do this, but it is not working as I wrote before.
Then there must be a reason:-) No, Asterisk will not complain about the syntax - that's probably why you say you "can". But you can use "CLI> show dialplan" to examine the actual dialplan entered into Asterisk's memory. You'll see that all the lines you used a variable as extension declaration contains a null string as extension. Or better, use show dialplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] and realize that it either matches nothing, or matches some unexpected item. (Replace test-extension with a real value such as 1234, and your-context with your context name.)
Asterisk does not do dynamic extension assignment (maybe in AEL, but definitely not in extensions.conf). It interprets all extensions upon reading extensions.conf.
Hope this helps. Yuan Liu _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
