This matches 011 then could do any number of things. Here I just goto,
then it looks for more numbers (the announcement is optional) and then
dials them.
Maybe not what you are looking for but it is an example of Asterisk
matching an extension and then going on to take more digits that then
branch based on other digits. Here the 011 is prepended to the final
number.

Don't get offended Doug, but I get really frustrated when I try to explain what
I am trying to do with Asterisk, and people don't seem to quite get it. Your
about the 4th person who's replied to this post, and hasn't quite grasped my
question. :) --- smiley.. see...we're all cool.
I don't want Asterisk to go on to ask for more digits. I want to do a very
simple thing. I want to set a variable when call flow continues beyond a
certain point (without asking the user for more digits), and then continue on,
and use that variable later. It's a very simple thing, I can't work out why
Asterisk doesn't let me do that.
Surely other people have hit the situation where they first check extensions
within a company, and then if there's no match, you glue all the other
companies dialplans together with this one. At that point, when one company
dials another, the caller id that's sent should be the company caller id, not
the caller id of the individual extension. It's a very common business
requirement... at least that's what my boss, who has spend many years
installing TDM pbx's tells me.
BTW - what is a numer?
A numer is a spelling mistake. I was going to change the title, but it would
have broken the thread.

[asterisk-users] Re: Match a Numer - then continue with, dialplan
I think you're making it far too difficult.
What I do is something like this:
[outgoing]
include = internal
include = longdistance
;Always include internal first, as matches from the first include
;will be used first. This allows you to make sure your internal
;extensions don't go out your trunks.
[longdistance]
ignorepat = 9;
include = default; already included from local, but putting here for
clarity
include = local;
exten = _91XXX,1,Macro(trunkout,${EXTEN}) ;Medium Distance
exten = _91XX,1,Macro(trunkout,${EXTEN}) ;Long Distance
Then, I have:
[macro-trunkout]
exten = s,1,Set(cname=${DB(showname/${CALLERIDNUM})});
exten = s,n,Set(cnum=${DB(shownum/${CALLERIDNUM})});
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[foo${cnum} = foo]?6); //if calling from ZAP
channel that set caller ID already
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${cname}|a);
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=${cnum}|a);
exten = s,n,Dial(${TRUNK}/${ARG1:${TRUNKMSD}});
exten = s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten = s-ANSWER,1,Hangup
exten = s-CONGESTION,1,Congestion(30)
exten = s-CONGESTION,2,Hangup
exten = s-CANCEL,1,Hangup
exten = s-BUSY,1,Busy(30)
exten = s-BUSY,2,Hangup
Why is this important? It's not. But it is fundamentally different from
what you're asking. You want to match a partial extension dialed and
then continue appending digits. What you really need to do is wait for
the whole number, then decide what kind of number it is, do the
processing, and send it on its way. It's just a slight change in the way
you're thinking, because you understand that there's a class of numbers
to treat differently. And that's OK. Just don't do anything with it
until the whole extension has been entered!
You'll notice that, anything not going through the trunkout macro
doesn't get tweaked, and anything that goes through there will read from
the database. I could just as easily set a single value, but I have some
users that I want to go out as themselves, and different departments
that have a general number, etc. I found the Asterisk Database to be the
easiest to tweak, as I have some scripts to allow admins to change the
effective CallerID on the fly.
I hope this helps! Asterisk can do what you're asking, and it does every
day.

Something along these lines: 1. Each company starts off in its own context, and at priority 1 in _X. it sets a variable like SRCCOMPANY to something specific to it. It includes all the destination contexts. 2. Each destination context starts at priority 2 and sets a variable like DESTCOMPANY to something specific to that destination. 3. At priority 3 in each source context, SRCCOMPANY and DESTCOMPANY are compared, in order to decide whether to override the CallerID with the source company's generic callerID. Let's say this uses priorities 3, 4 and 5 (for the GotoIf doing the compare, then the SetCallerID, and the NoOp target for the GotoIf when the callerID doesn't need rewriting). The destination contexts do not have priorities 3, 4 and 5. 4. The destination contexts continue at priority 6 to route the call. I think by interleaving priorities between contxts like this you should be able to achieve what you are looking for.

David, this is completely different from what I am trying to do.
Let's try this a different way. Let's say you have two companies. When someone
calls a number in their own company, we use their INTERNAL caller id. When they
call someone in another company, we want to send their EXTERNAL caller id. How
would you do this?

DG That won't do it. Processing will continue in the current
DG extension priority. I need it to continue looking for an extension
DG to match against. Once Asterisk has matched the dialled number
DG against an extension in the dialplan, your stuck in an
DG extension you can never get out and get Asterisk to go back to
DG looking for extensions to match against.
It looks for extensions to match against all the time. What you say
makes no sense.
E.g. this code works, with EXTEN being 321 and starting in incoming.
[incoming]
exten = _3XX,1,NoOp(We get to this place)
exten = _X2X,2,Goto(incoming,${EXTEN},700)
exten = _XX1,700,NoOp(We end up here)
If EXTEN was 301, only priority 1 would run. If it was 320, priority 1
and 2 would run.

Mike, this is a hosted IPT solution. There's potentially going to be hundreds
(we hope) of companies hosted and configured on this box. I'd have to write
static code to compare every number in every company to every number in every
other company, and that's just not feesible.

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Douglas Garstang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Tony Mountifield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] However, don't forget that it searches for matching extensions every time the priority changes. You are not locked into a particular pattern or extension number from priority 1 onwards. You can mix and match patterns with literal extensions, even across includes, e.g. Don't follow you. When asterisk matches an extension, it starts interating through the priorities until there's none left, or you Goto() somewhere else. Not exactly, and this may be where you're feeling unduly restricted. The asterisk engine always searches for the combination of extension and priority at every step. So if you dial extension 123, it will look in the relevant context (and then any included contexts, in order) for a line that matches (123,1). This could be 123,1 or _X.,1 or _1XX,1, and so on. When found, it executes the command (application) specified on that line. If the command was not any kind of goto, Asterisk then increments the priority from 1 to 2, and then does a completely fresh search for (123,2). This could again be matched by 123,2 or _X.,2 or _X2X,2 or whatever, and DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE SAME PATTERN, NOR IN THE SAME INCLUDE, AS THE LINE THAT MATCHED (123,1). This is the point. However, please try to get away from the mindset of wanting Asterisk to do stuff while it is searching. It can only execute things that are on lines that fulfil its search. Many of us are trying to suggest solutions based on what Asterisk CAN do. *WE* get frustrated when you reject such suggestions because you want Asterisk to work in a way it doesn't. Please start to see Asterisk as a fun challenge rather than something that has been inflicted upon you!

Firstly, in the setup you are envisaging, how do you distinguish which company the caller is calling from? Their extensions number? The context at which they enter the dialplan? Or something else? Good questions, all of them. Unfortnately, I don't have answers to them. I wanted to take our 3000 line python script, which we'd used due to inadequacies of the dialplan, and throw the horrible nasty thing out the window. Secondly, how do you distinguish between destination numbers in one company from those in another? Number range? Context? Tony, Thank you for asking the appropriate questions! I think you've gotten to the crux of the matter. Doug, take some Advil and read the rest of this post tomorrow! :) At my work, we have a saying that we use when trying to figure out how to overcome some technical challenge. It helps us to focus on the solution, not the problem. We simply ask, What is Utopia? Then, in plain English, we describe the perfect world. (Choose the language of your locale for this exercise.) Doug, could we try this exercise? Could you collate the bits and pieces of your posts in this thread and distill them into a point-by-point description of your Utopia? Use as few technical terms and Asterisk-specific references as possible. A good starting point is the list of to-do's that you do for each call: Do they have voicemail? Do they have feature ABC? Do they have feature XYZ? After listing all of that, then give us the description of what needs to happen next, the part about deciding which caller ID info to send. Pretend like you're explaining it to a bunch of idiots who understand only small words and short sentences. :) My gut tells me that the solution lies in the big picture, not the details. The more eyes that see the big picture the better.

But how did IT know whether a source extension or a destination number belonged to company A, B or C? Secondly, how do you distinguish between destination numbers in one company from those in another? Number range? Context? My brain hurts. Hmmm. If you're trying to make logic decisions, or we're trying to suggest possibilities, you/we need to know on what information the decisions are to be based!
