Hi All,

I am new to Freeswitch. So please bear with me if I ask any silly questions.

* Can anyone of you please tell me how to display the extension name which has matched an incoming/outgoing call.
* And can you please elaborate what does '<action application="info"/>' mean.
* Suppose we have set a variable in the extension of the dialplan XML. Is there anyway we can display this variable on CLI for our debugging purposes.

Anil,

Here are few links to get started:
Handy tutorial: http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Issues/2009/106/TALK-SOFT
Chan vars: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Channel_Variables
Log app: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_log

Note: the info app dumps all sorts of information to the console and is a great way to learn about many of the channel variables that FS has. The log app will make it easy for you to pinpoint just a single channel variable:
<action application="log" data="INFO Dialed extension is ${dialed_ext}"/>

Have fun!
