 The short google search I did didn't turn up anything concrete.

try:

exten = _X!,1,Set(NEW_VAR=${EXTEN})
exten = _X!,n,do other things...

.

exten = t,1,Hangup() ;hang up if no input for 7 sec.

   What kind of search did you do to avoid getting the read command?

Subject: [asterisk-users] take input and store in variable

I am using a context to change values in a DB. Currently in my context, I
am passing it to

exten = s,1,WaitExten(7) ; 7 seconds to input
exten = s,n,Set(NEW_VAR=${EXTEN})   ;Here is my problem. This is the only
way I know how to 'grab' user input, which was normally from ${EXTEN} but
I realize this won't work for extension 's'..

The short google search I did didn't turn up anything concrete.

Thank you!

-Tom

Exten = s,1,Read(NEW_VAR,,7,skip,1,5)
This will load NEW_VAR with 7 or fewer digits in 5 seconds.
