[Asterisk-Users] Line is stuck off hook...

[John Harragin]

Hey do we have the ability to incriment a variable?
exten => t,2,SetVar,looptest=$((looptest + 1))
I was thinking of doing a library of simple arithmetic and bash-like
expansions for asterisk... like Zap/{1&,2&,3} - but it may already have this
functionality.
