[asterisk-users] Feature Request: "SayNumberFiles"

[Olivier]

Hi,

Currently, it seems impossible to use the output of SayNumber application as
an input to Read application.
So, if you want to develop an IVR with something like "You've got 23
messages. Type 1 to listen to the first one. Type 2 to leave", you must
parse this message into 3 pieces and want for the last one play to start
listening of user input :
  Playback ( "You've got")
  SayNumber (23)
  Read ("messages. Type 1 to listen to the first one. Type 2 to leave", ...)

Being to get the list of sound files that SayNumber would play would be very
convenient to build concatenate several one into one temporary file. When
played with Read app, user wouldn't have to wait for the last part to type
its answer :

  myfilelist = SayNumberFiles(23)
  tempfile=concat( "You've got", myfilelist, "messages. Type 1 to listen to
the first one. Type 2 to leave")
  Read (tempfile, ...)

Did I miss a workaround ?
What would you say about this feature request ?

Regards
