[asterisk-users] Feature Request: "SayNumberFiles"

[Warren Selby]

Why not do something with Background()?  i.e

Playback(you-have)
SayNumber(${numMessages})
Playback(messages)
Background(press-1-or-2)

Then just be sure to record the audio files in the appropriate  
directory...




Thanks,
--Warren Selby
