I altered the expression to include parentheses, and the number is successfully picked up.

I now have:- <action application="set" data="res=${sched_api +1 none conference $1@conference_2 play file_string://${namefile}!conference/conf-has_joined.wav}"/> How should I construct the statement such that it connects the caller to the conference named conference_2 ? Should I even be referencing the conference name, seeing as I already have the expression matching in place earlier in the definition?

I have modified the example shown on the mod_conference (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_conference#FAQ) wiki for my own deployment.
