[arm-allstar] macro question

some very interesting ideas.
What I might try is to create a total of 11 scripts. Say *50 to *59, *60
Using your ideas, I can use the first ten scripts to enter digits 0- 9 to a temporary variable, use localplay to echo the digit and exit. (Assume that the variable is equal to null at the beginning) Each of these scripts will test the variable for a length of 3 digits. When this occurs another script will be called. . This script will process the 3 DTMF digits and call the HAMLIB with the proper commands. . The *60 macro will call a disconnect script. Doing it this way I can get 1000 memories with only a few simple scripts. Also the temporary variable will be cleared to null once the memory connect command is issued. What do you think of this idea?
Thanks

Neil,
You could define multiple functions that called the same script with different parameters or channels. In this case *D1 through *D3 would set channels 1-3. You can add more as you wish and even process additional parameters.
D1=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 1
D2=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 2
D3=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 3
etc....
Then in the script test the parameter and execute the proper command or just use the parameter in the call to the command.
# !/bin/bash
if [ -z $1 ]
then
echo "No channel given (1-16)"
exit 0
fi
case "$1" in
1) Echo "Channel 1"
# command for channel 1 to asterisk put here
;;
2) echo "Channel 2"
# command for channel 2 to asterisk put here
;;
3) echo "Channel 3"
# command for channel 3 to asterisk put here
;;
#etc.... add channels
esac
exit
By the way Dave, KB4FXC commented to me that you could use the dialplan in extensions .conf to do this and that is exactly what I did years ago in a script to control my X10 system from the phone in Asterisk.
Here is an example -
[controlx10]
exten => s,1,background(doug/enter_x10)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=4)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=1)
exten => s,n,WaitExten()
exten => s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _1.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 on ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _1.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _1.,n,Playback(on)
exten => _1.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _0.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 off ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,n,Playback(off)
exten => _0.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _3.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 dim ${EXTEN:1})
;exten => _3.,1,noop(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _3.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _4.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 bright ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _4.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _5.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 allon ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _5.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _6.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 alloff ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _6.,n,Goto(s,1)
;exten => 4,1,Playback(goodbye)
;exten => 4,n,Hangup()
exten => *,1,Return()
exten => #,1,Hangup()
This would need to be setup in Allstar but could work. I think for now an easier and more straightforward way would be to use the script method I proposed above if it works for you.

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.
