The C portion of the code is where the digit is dequeued so there is no way to avoid it.<br><br>So, When you call streamFile you can not only pass a function to callback, you can also pass an arbitrary object. That way you can get that object as "arg" in your example callback and push the digits onto a shared string there.<br><br><br>The intention is to make a pure js class for this kind of thing that we can put in tree and people can use it to make their scripts.<br><br><br><br><pre>function mycb (type, data, arg) {<br><br> if (type == "dtmf") {<br> arg.digits += data;<br> return false;<br> }<br>}</pre><br>var dtmf = new Object();<br>dtmf.digits = "";<br>session.streamFile("blah.wav", mycb, dtmf);<br>//say you need 3 digits
so subtract how many you have so far.<br>dtmf.digits += getDigits(3 - dtmf.digits.length, "#", 5000);<br><br>This is a crude example but you can see how you could write this into a permanently used module everyone could use. The idea is to make the js the place where you can continue to code functionality without touching the core. That is the reason the default api is the lowest level possible without going too far.<br><br>This pure js module has yet to be written but we probably should get started on it soon before we make everyone duplicate this kind of thing....<br><br><br><div>Anthony Minessale II<br><br><span>FreeSWITCH <a target="_blank" href="http://www.freeswitch.org/">http://www.freeswitch.org/</a></span><br><span>ClueCon <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cluecon.com/">http://www.cluecon.com/</a></span><br><br>AIM: anthm<br>MSN:anthony_minessale@hotmail.com<br>JABBER:anthony.minessale@gmail.com<br>IRC: irc.freenode.net

Let's take an example:<br><br>I got a voicemail application that plays a lot of phrases.

I want to skip to the second voicemail by
pressing 2. That's not<br>possible with the code above. Instead you have to do something like<br>this:<br><br>var _digits = "";<br>function on_dtmf(type, digits, arg)<br>{<br> _digits += digits;<br> return false;<br>}<br><br>function say(phrase)<br>{<br> if (_digits != "")<br> return false;<br> session.streamFile(phrase, on_dtmf);<br>}<br><br>function getDigits(length, terminators, timeout)<br>{<br> if (_digits != '')<br> {<br> var tempVar = _digits;<br> _digits = "";<br> return tempVar;<br> }<br> return session.getDigits(length, terminators, timeout);<br>}<br><br>say("you_have.wav");<br>say("2.wav");<br>say("new_messages");<br>choice = getDigits(1, "", 5000);<br><br>Right? That will abort speach on input and return the pressed digit.<br>But what if we want to enter a pincode
or something like that? Then we<br>need to handle both _digits AND use session.getDigits:<br><br>function getDigits(length, terminators, timeout)<br>{<br> if (_digits.length < length)<br> {<br> tempVar = _digits;<br> _digits = "";<br> tempVar += session.getDigits(length - _digits.length, terminators, timeout);<br> return tempVar;<br> }<br> else<br> {<br> tempVar = _digits;<br> _digits = "";<br> return tempVar;<br> }<br>}<br><br>Get my point?
