If you had read chapter 6 of the bridge book you'd know the answer. ;)

If you want to pass arguments then do something like this:

greet-long="phrase:cc_ivr_main_menu:${cash}:${arg2}:${arg3}"

and

<macro name="cc_ivr_main_menu">
        <input pattern="(.*?):(.*?):(.*?)">
            <!-- ${cash} is in $1 now -->
            <!-- ${arg2} is in $2 now -->
            <!-- ${arg3} is in $3 now -->

Now you can use $1, $2, $3, etc. in your phrase macro. If you want to see macros in action then I suggest you look at the voicemail macros - they do all sorts of stuff. Of course, if you'd read chapter 6 of the FS book you'd know that, too. ;)

P.S. - Did I mention chapter 6 of the book? :D The reason I'm so familiar with it is because I wrote the stuff on phrase macros in chapter 6 and chapter 7...

I'm kinda new to IVRs and Phrases, but I see this:

   <action application="phrase" data="msgcount,130"/>
   <macro name="msgcount">
        <input pattern="(.*)">

Meaning I can pass a parameter to the phrase, and then set different
matching input configurations.

Now, I see phrases are being used in the IVR:
I'd like to have an announcement of a balance at the beginning, but
start listening for the digits already.
But, I'd like to have two different types of announcement in the beginning.
I can either duplicate and create two different IVRs and two different
sets of phrases, or I can take advantage of that parameter passing.

But when I try:   greet-long="phrase:cc_ivr_main_menu,${cash}" I get:
2011-06-12 00:05:24.788910 [ERR] switch_ivr_play_say.c:142 Can't find
macro cc_ivr_main_menu,33.09.

Am I missing something?
Do I need to make a lua IVR to start capturing digits while I play
other audio (how??) or create split the IVR into two nearly duplicate
ones?

Thanks,
Avi
