but it seems that value of variable defined in external file is not getting
populated during the dialplan execution.
My example:
extract from one external file in /etc/asterisk/abc.conf
PROV=1.2.3.4
[abc]
exten => _1X.,1,Dial(SIP/${PROV}/${EXTEN})
and extensions.conf contains:
[globals]
#include "abc.conf"
if call is made by the user of abc context, variable ${PROV} is having empty
value. Please suggest where is the problem.
Thanks,
Kamlesh
