<tt>Hi,<br>
Now I am using lua's session:getDigits function, and it seems that
"read_result" and "</tt>read_terminator_used<tt>" are not set at all.<br>
Besides, lua's implementation of this function accept only three
parameters( lenght, terminator and timeout),<br>
however, some other modules allow more parameters (</tt><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Session_getDigits">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Session_getDigits</a>)<br>
Why is that?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Peter<br>

I am having some troubles adopting [session:playAndGetDigits] function<br>
to my application needs.<br>
<br>
There are three possible outcomes that the function should report on:<br>
1. Success. The required number of of digits was collected and they<br>
match the mask.<br>
2. Fail 1.The entered digits do not match the mask<br>
3. Fail2. Timeout failure<br>
<br>
Right now, I cannot distinguish between 2 & 3. In both cases, an
empty<br>
string is returned, so I have no idea what was the real failure.<br>
<br>
4. Success upon termination<br>
That is a tricky one, and I believe, there is a bug in this function.<br>
This function accept the terminators, which should stop digits
collection.<br>
Consider the following function call:<br>
<br>
digits = session:playAndGetDigits(<br>
0, 5, 1, 3000, "#",<br>
"enter_mailbox_number_or_hit_pound_to_login.wav",<br>
"error.wav",<br>
"\\d*"<br>
);<br>
<br>
<br>
Here, I want to collect up to 5 digits, that represent a mailbox number.<br>
Note that I set the minimum value to be 0, as I want "#" itself to be<br>
the sign, that I want to login to my system.<br>
However, when I execute this code and hit "#" immediately, the system<br>
play me an error message. Oops! Well, I changed my digits mask to be<br>
"#", and it did not help either.<br>
BTW, about the last case. If I my digits mask contains the symbol used<br>
in the terminators, then it has to be collected and returned. The<br>
current implementation just uses terminates the collection and does not<br>
include the terminator to the returned string.<br>
<br>
Possible solutions to determine the function's outcome:<br>
1. Return multiple values (state, digits). That may break tons of the<br>
existing code<br>
2. Set a channel (or session) variable. Similar to C's errno and define<br>
some variables defining the outcome. Below is a summary table that<br>
covers all the cases:<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
ERRNO | Description<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
RET_OK | Maximum number of digits was collected or<br>
| terminated when in range [min_digits..max_digits-1]<br>
| or timeout triggered after collecting enough digits<br>
[min_digits..max_digits-1].<br>
| The collected digits match digits_regex<br>
| Returns the collected digits<br>
<br>
RET_TERM | Terminating before collecting enough digits or when<br>
| the collected digits do not match digits_regex<br>
| Return whatever was collected (for logging)<br>
<br>
<br>
RET_TIMEOUT | Did not collect enough digits for the time specified or
when<br>
| the collected digits do not match digits_regex<br>
| Return whatever was collected (for logging)<br>
<br>
<br>
Does it all make sense?<br>
Cheers,<br>
