11:53.15jsmithJuggie: We're all alive... I just wasn't in front of the computer at 1:00am
11:57.48leifmadsenya, no kidding
11:57.51leifmadsenI went to bed at 11pm
11:57.55leifmadsenup at 7
11:58.21leifmadsenhey, the farmers market is on across the road! I should go see what kinds of veggies they have
12:01.22leifmadsenI think I might spend today going through the Asterisk book and doing some updates
12:01.37leifmadsenmostly chapters 2 and 3 I think
12:01.46leifmadsenI should probably look at Jim's mindmap stuff too
12:02.43leifmadsenalso, I'm still looking for suggestions of something I can use on OSX to convert these MP4 files I got from IT360
12:03.25leifmadsenjsmith: have you ever taken an existing OSX 10.4 system, and dual booted it with Linux? I just want to repartition some space, and not have to rebuild OSX again
12:03.37leifmadsenthat should be as simple as just creating a partition to install Linux onto right?
12:03.46leifmadsenand letting it overwrite the MBR?
13:38.53jsmithleifmadsen: I dual-boot all the time
13:39.04jsmithleifmadsen: Here's the secret.... create a partition to install Linux onto
13:39.14jsmithleifmadsen: *Don't* have linux overwrite the MBR
13:39.36jsmithleifmadsen: Instead, install rEFIt (refit.sf.net) on OS X
13:40.01jsmithleifmadsen: rEFIt acts as your bootloader, and gives you the option to boot to linux or mac (or boot off of CD, etc.)
13:44.07Juggiewoot
13:44.16Juggieshoprbc accepted my pricematch for 69.30$ for a SPA3102
13:44.43Juggiejsmith, or you could use grub to boot osx no?
13:56.32jsmithJuggie: I don't think so, as the MBP uses EFI instead of a regular BIOS
14:01.34leifmadsengoogles for rEFIt
14:03.26leifmadsenof course... sourceforge is down
14:11.51jsmithSeriously?
14:11.59leifmadsenI can't get to it
14:12.01jsmithI could probably scrape together a file for you
14:12.02leifmadsenjust fails
14:12.14leifmadsenConnection Interupted
14:12.23jsmithWow... works for me.
14:12.25jsmithHold please...
14:12.28leifmadsenreally? odd....
14:12.31leifmadsenmust be my routing then
14:12.35leifmadsencan you grab me the latest?
14:12.42filenotes it is not odd when leifmadsen and networking is involved
14:12.47leifmadsenit is not
14:12.59fileI'm surprised you manage to stay online with your networking luck
14:13.13leifmadsenme too
14:13.14jsmithUgh... it's not working
14:13.31leifmadsenthe refit site loads... just not sourceforge.net :)
14:51.12jsmithleifmadsen: http://www.jaredsmith.net/misc/refit/rEFIt-0.13.dmg
15:39.49leifmadsenjsmith: merci
15:48.42Juggieleifmadsen: sf is up for me in robbers.
15:49.49leifmadsenback up for me too
15:57.32Juggieany idea why DTMF doesnt work during SayDigits()
15:57.42Juggieleif you dont per chance have a macro do emulate say digits do you
15:57.46Juggieusing background
15:59.30jsmithJuggie: Because it's "SayDigits" and not "SayDigitsBackground"
15:59.45Juggieright but there is no SayDigitsBackground app :)
15:59.56jsmithJuggie: It wouldn't be hard to write a macro that would use Read() to emulate what you want
16:00.12Juggiei actually just want to use the extensions in he context.
16:00.20Juggie*the
16:00.34leifmadsenJuggie: sorry, I don't happen to have that
16:00.38jsmithBackground(digits/1&digits/2&Digits/3)
16:00.47jsmiths/Digit/digit/
16:01.13Juggieya
16:01.18leifmadsenand you could create a Macro that just did a while() or gotoif() loop to generate that line
16:01.19Juggiei'll just whip up a macro for that i guess
16:01.21jsmithNow, if you wanted "SayNumber" instead of "SayDigits" it would be a bit harder...
16:01.27Juggieya i just need digits
16:01.31Juggiethankfully
16:01.34Juggiewhat is 'odd'
16:01.34jsmith... but for SayDigits, it's simple
16:01.38Juggieis that say digits via agi
16:01.39Juggieallows dtmf
16:01.43jsmithAye...

16:01.56Juggienice jsmith :)
16:01.59jsmithWhat's odd is that I manage to kick myself from the channel all the time
16:02.05leifmadsenlol
16:02.06Juggieagreed
16:02.16Juggiei need to figure out * while loops :)
16:02.39Juggiewhat happens if someone presses dtmf inside a macro
16:02.46Juggiedoes it jump back out to the caling context
16:03.03jsmithNo, not by default it doesn't
16:03.05leifmadsenWhile($[${EXISTS(${ARG1:1:${COUNTER}})}])
16:03.23jsmithWouldn't that be ARG1:${COUNTER}:1?
16:03.29jsmithschools leifmadsen
16:03.38leifmadsendamnit! that's what I typed first too, then I doubted myself :)
16:03.44leifmadsenI was thinking LEN:OFFSET
16:03.48leifmadsenbut it's OFFSET:LEN isn't it
16:03.52jsmithAye
16:03.59leifmadsenhaha, I shouldn't have doubted my thinking
16:04.02jsmithand that means it's time for lunch!
16:04.07leifmadsenI just got back from lunch
16:04.12leifmadsenbuh bye :)
16:04.54Juggiejsmith-busy, how would you make it jump otu by defualt
16:04.56Juggie*default
16:05.35jsmith-busyJuggie: An *ugly* *hackish* way is by passing the "context" parameter to Background, and setting that to ${MACRO_CONTEXT}
16:06.00Juggieexample?
16:06.01jsmith-busyJuggie: A better way is to use Read() instead of Background(), followed by a Goto
16:06.13leifmadsenya, I was thinking Read() + Goto()
16:06.15jsmith-busy[macro-example]
16:06.26leifmadsenexcept on 1.4 you can't use multiple files :(
16:06.30Juggieso just use Read() to play the digits in the macro
16:06.55jsmith-busyOooh... what version of Asterisk is this?
16:06.59Juggie1.4
16:07.05jsmith-busyUgh...
16:07.06leifmadsenJuggie: there is a patch on the bug tracker that was closed... search for bugs opened by jsmith and you'll find the patch to allow multiple files
16:07.20leifmadsens/opened/submitted/
16:07.23Juggiei dont need multiple files i can handle it
16:07.23jsmith-busyOK, here's how we're going to do this....
16:07.37leifmadsendigits/1&digits/2 are multiple files...
16:07.38Juggiejust if a dtmf has been read skip the rest of the files and abort
16:07.47Juggiejsmith-busy, can you put it on pastebin
16:07.48jsmith-busyAre the possible dialed extensions single digits?
16:07.54Juggieyes.
16:08.01jsmith-busyOh, then we're golden!
16:08.05leifmadsensees where this is going :)
16:08.13Juggiethe only valid one is #
16:09.17jsmith-busyOh, so you only care if they interrupt with #
16:09.23jsmith-busyOtherwise, continue playing the number?
16:09.45jsmith-busyWhat do you want to have happen if they press 1 or 3 or 9
16:09.47Juggieatm if # is pressed it saves the response and says thankyou and hangs up
16:09.58Juggieif anything invalid is pressed it says invalid
16:10.09jsmith-busyOK...
16:10.10Juggieand loops if we have any loops left in the context
16:10.20jsmithOK, not going to lunch yet
16:10.45Juggiegives jsmith a snbakc
16:10.47Juggieack
16:10.49Juggie*snack
16:11.25Juggiethe ideal solution is just adding a allow dtmf parameter to SayDigits etc
16:11.36Juggiei'm tempted to try and see if it would work though i would not want to use it w/ this client
16:16.12Juggiehrmf
16:16.13Juggieworks
16:16.39Juggieno reason we could not add an allow dtmf option to SayDigits/SayAlpha/SayNumber so far as i'm concerned.
16:16.48jsmithCorrect
16:16.54jsmithIn fact, it's been on my to-do list for a while
16:17.00Juggie<PROTECTED>
16:17.00Juggie[May 22 12:16:53] WARNING[8300]: pbx.c:4705 __ast_pbx_run: Invalid extension '#', but no rule 'i' in context 'sentinel_saynumber'
16:17.09Juggieno rule in the macro
16:17.10Juggiebut it works
16:18.17Juggiejsmith, are you writing a macro?
16:18.40jsmithAye
16:18.45Juggiethanks :)
16:18.51Juggieputs a dollar in the tip jar
16:22.56jsmithhttp://asterisk.pastebin.com/m36f6c289
16:23.00jsmithTry that on for size
16:25.04jsmithwaits for an answer before bailing for lunch
16:25.22Juggiejsmith one sec
16:25.27Juggiewhat will make it jump though outisde the macro
16:25.32Juggieonce it ends what will tell it go to go #
16:26.34jsmithWhen the caller presses #, it exits the macro
16:26.49jsmithIf the caller simply waits to the end, it'll exit the macro
16:26.58jsmithShoot -- if the caller presses *anything*, it exits the macro
16:27.04jsmithFair enough?
16:27.20Juggieright, but how do i action the # once back in the context
16:30.49jsmithOh, you want something different to happen if they press # once it gets back to the context... that's easy too.
16:30.54jsmithwhips up version 2.0
16:31.34Juggieseems like i need a GOTO and pass in ${INPUT}
16:31.43Juggieif readstatus = ok
16:34.38Juggieleifmadsen: ping
16:36.41jsmithhttp://asterisk.pastebin.com/m68d3d3e1
16:36.46jsmithTry that!
16:40.25Juggiek one sec
16:41.01Juggiejsmith, can we just do a Goto() inside a macro though
16:41.14Juggieand go to the handler in the calling context?
16:41.23Juggieeg, Goto(${INPUT},1)
16:41.28jsmithJuggie: Yes, you can...
16:41.41Juggiethat is what i need i think
16:41.48Juggieso it acts just like saydigits
16:41.51Juggieexcept its a macro
16:43.48jsmithhttp://asterisk.pastebin.com/m82bba94
16:43.50jsmithVersion 3.0
16:45.02Juggienice :)
16:45.04Juggiei'll test now
16:48.19Juggiejsmith, could this also be a gosub?
16:49.45jsmithJuggie: Yes, but that's left as an exercise for the reader :-p
16:49.50jsmithJuggie: I need some lunch
16:50.05Juggieya i should of thought of that first
16:50.12Juggieit would be dirty to call a macro from a gosub :)
16:50.15jsmithTalk to leifmadsen... He's the gosub queen
16:50.22jsmithNo, not necessarily
16:50.31Juggiehe's a queen alright
16:50.37Juggiejust not sure if its of gosubs
16:50.45Juggienot necessairly?
16:53.09Juggiewhats the MACRO_CONTEXT equiv in gosub
16:59.53Juggie<PROTECTED>
16:59.53Juggie[May 22 13:00:30] ERROR[8418]: app_stack.c:387 gosub_exec: Attempt to reach a non-existent destination for gosub: (Context:sentinel_saydigits, Extension: 613, Priority:0)
17:00.03Juggiewhy does it say its going to priorty 0
17:00.13Juggie*priority
17:16.56Juggie'#' is the End-Of-Input Key. It is NOT possible to accept '#' with Read()
17:25.18leifmadsenJuggie: hmmmm.... I think I saw a bug about that recently
17:30.18Juggiealso
17:30.27Juggiewhy the hell does gosub not have a ${MACRO_CONTEXT} style variable
17:30.33Juggieso i can jump out to where i came from forcefully
17:30.47Juggiesobs a little, each app has its own 'gotcha'
17:31.32fileforcefully?
17:32.16Juggieso i can goto out of a gosub
17:32.23Juggieto where i came from and jump to a certain exten
17:32.57Juggieeg i use background inside a gosub context, i trap all input w/ _X, user presses #, i want to goto the calling context,#,1
17:33.09leifmadsenReturn()
17:33.14filecan't you use the Return application and your own dialplan variable?
17:33.44Juggieyea, but then after every single call to the gosub
17:33.52Juggiei have to check the variable
17:33.54leifmadsenReturn() specifically gets you back to where you came from
17:34.10Juggieya, but what if i want to go back to the same context, different extension
17:34.43leifmadsencheck GOSUB_STACK ?
17:34.49leifmadsenI think that's the channel variable
17:35.11leifmadsenor just do a DumpChan() one you get into the subroutine to determine what you have access to
17:35.17leifmadsens/one/once
17:36.16Juggiethere is StackPop
17:36.42Juggienot sure what that would do
17:37.21Juggiei should just fix SayDigits/SayAlpha/SayNumber
17:37.27Juggiethat would avoid all this extra work
17:40.44leifmadsenya... you'd be done by now probably :)
17:41.25Juggieya just then the box has a custom patch
17:42.01leifmadsentrue...
17:42.08leifmadsensneak it into 1.4 :)
17:42.09leifmadsenlol
17:43.01Juggiei could also just use a quick agi script
17:44.01leifmadsenthat too
17:55.40Juggiewoot
17:55.41Juggiegot it working
17:55.45Juggiehad to convert it to macros
17:55.54Juggiegosub wont let me do it

18:05.34Juggiefile: what was that quickbooks like website you told leif about
18:06.00filefreshbooks?
18:06.51leifmadsenthat sounds right
18:08.51Juggiethat looks pimp
18:09.41Juggieleifmadsen, i demand you set that up :)
18:11.16leifmadseni demand you re-import the last 3-4 years of data back into it
18:11.26leifmadsenif there was an import functionality, then I would consider it
18:18.04Juggiethey recomend you start fresh apparentally :P
18:28.31leifmadsenI saw that...
18:28.37leifmadsenya... I just did that mmmkthx
18:28.41leifmadsenmaybe at the end of this year
18:36.44Juggieif you upgrade quickbooks there are plugins you can get now i think too to extend
18:36.55Juggienot suggestign you shuld, just stateing they exist
18:50.18Juggiejsmith-meeting: ping
18:50.51jsmith-meetingJuggie: <pong style="multi-tasked"/>
18:51.08Juggiejsmith-meeting: simple question, how do you check for numeric in a * variable
18:51.11Juggiethe simple way :)
18:51.18Juggiei can think of a couple but i figure you know best
18:52.12jsmith-meetingthe FILTER() function
18:53.11jsmith-meetingGotoIf($[${FILTER(0-9,${SOMEVAR}) = ${SOMEVAR}]?somewhere)
19:12.48Juggiek
19:22.29Juggiejsmith, you still there?
19:23.07jsmithJuggie: Aye...
19:24.09Juggiei think i might of found it stand by :)

19:25.33Juggiethose silly expressions
19:25.34Juggiebut i found it
19:25.36Juggieone more question
19:25.46Juggieis there a function for filtering to lowercase
19:25.53Juggieeg, tolower :)
19:29.50Juggiehttp://asterisk.pastebin.com/m68e5b67a
19:30.00Juggieneeds to support a few special cases and tolower the letters.
19:30.06leifmadsenJuggie: there is, but not in 1.4
19:30.12leifmadsenTOLOWER() and TOUPPER() exist in 1.6
19:31.05Juggiesheds a tear
