[Asterisk-Users] time variable

[Filip Drągowski]

It'm my macro from extensions.ael

macro randomfile() {
                set(DZIEL=${TIMESTAMP:0:8}${TIMESTAMP:9});  
                set(DZIEL=${DZIEL:6});
                math(WYNIK,${DZIEL}/${NumberOfFiles);
                set(ROZMIAR=${LEN(${WYNIK})});
                MATH(ROZMIAR,${ROZMIAR}-7);
                set(WYNIK=${WYNIK:0:${ROZMIAR}});
                math(WYNIK,${WYNIK}*${NumberOfFiles});
                math(WYNIK,${DZIEL}-${WYNIK});
                math(WYNIK,${WYNIK}+1);
                         };
I have specified NumberOfFiles and want to randomly play one of them.
This macro gets hours and minutes from TIMESTAMP (first two lines) and 
store it as 4 digit number (DZIEL).
It is divided by NumberOfFiles, cuted (-7 digits) to discard comma and 
all behind.
...
at the end random number is created as result of HHMM number mod 
NumberOfFiles

-mayby that will help You a little
