[Freeswitch-users] dptools "read" command doesn't appear to work properly (how to read dtmf via event socket)

[Anthony Minessale]

those events have nothing to do with the read app
the read app is designed to save the dtmf into a variable for you
so you would have to wait for the event telling you the execution was
complete of read
then you can use the command uuid_getvar to get the dtmfdtmf

the reason he said you don't need it is because you could just collect it
yourself
as you get dtmf events and just play the file.
