[arm-allstar] macro question

[Neil k8it]

Thanks Doug. And yes I agree with using scripts. What I am trying to do is respond to a users DTMF digits for a remote base application. I now have written script code using hamlib to control my TMV71A radio. it works good but only has a few preprogrammed memories based on which macro you use.
I would like to instead receive three DTMF digits and process them before passing them to the radio via hamlib. Somehow there is a way!
If I call a script
is it possible to call an asterisk function from within the script  to receive three DTMF digits directly to the script for more processing?


Thanks

Neil,

 I don't think you can pass parameters to a macro. There would be no way to test for vlaues. Why not call a script and pass parameters there. here is an example from rpt.conf. This is defined in the [functions] section. *A1 would call this and execute sayip.sh.  27225 is the passed parameter.

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 27225 

The in the sayip.sh script $1 is then defined as 27225.  You can have multiple parameters so if it were -

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 1 2 3

Then in the script $1 would =1, $2 would = 2, and $3 would =3.

This yet again shows the power of using scripts over built-in code.
