I did read your emails, and I thought the Lua script idea was nice.  

lua was nice but it was blocking ... no further dialplan processing before it ends (at least this is what i went into)... and if it ends there is no Callback to collect DTMF digits  :(
I tried to put it in background but i was not able to...

anyhow it was a nice experience ... my 1st lua scripting :)

 
The ESL was more complicated, but also good.  But, you didn't accept either.  


ESL ... huh its really nice but not applicable to my application :( ... I decided to go dialplan way and did everything within. honestly a separate daemon than interacts with FS and decides what to do according to events scares me a bit ... I have never done something like this and i was not confident i would complete the task on time.

This means moving the logic outside FS... anyhow this is something on my next ToDo list :)

 
So, I was wondering, is this "bind_long_DTMF" something that allows you to capture DTMF during the full length of the call, i.e. even after bridge?  Is that what you wished to accomplish?


This is a callingCard application and one of the requirments was to be able to cancel the wrong destination number entry with a single # (* is end of dial digit) starting from the point it asks you for the destination number afterwards. This means you can cancel an while; getting destination number, calls in being bridged, already bridged calls and return the A-leg call state back to enter another destination.


As i didn't find any solution around here to do such a thing in dialplan or via scripting i went down to the original code and wrote my own function.

BTW: Also, i will extend the function to do what it's name says "long". If someone press # for a certain amount of time (topically 2 seconds) an action will be triggered. If the duration is less than the specified time nothing will happen.


Thanks for your e-mail.
