[asterisk-users] SayNumber while reading DTMF?

[Alexander Lopez]

Run a script before the user gets to Background that cat the gsm files
together and then play that file.

IE

#!/bin/bash
BALANCE=$1
ACCOUNT=$2
SOUNDSDIR="/var/lib/asterisk/sounds"
ACCOUNTFILE="$SOUNDSDIR/accounts/$ACCOUNT.gsm"
#
#Some creative scripting will need to be done to be able to properly say
the #numbers. Ie One-Hundred Eighteen Dollars and Forty-Two Cents. This
script #will play One-One-Eight Dollars and Four-Two cents.
#
#       Get the Dollars and Cents...
#
DOLLARS=`echo $BALANCE | cut -f1 -d.`
CENTS=`echo $BALANCE | cut -f2 -d.`
#
#
ELEMENTS=`echo $DOLLARS | wc -m`
for (( i=0;i<$ELEMENTS;i++)); do
    cat $SOUNDSDIR/digits/${DOLLARS:$i:1}.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
done

cat $$SOUNDSDIR/dollars.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
cat $$SOUNDSDIR/and.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE

ELEMENTS=`echo $CENTS | wc -m`
for (( i=0;i<$ELEMENTS;i++)); do
    cat $SOUNDSDIR/digits/${CENTS:$i:1}.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
done

cat $$SOUNDSDIR/cents.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE

----------------------

Then just call the script before the Background with the argumants need
and then play back the generated file...
