[asterisk-users] Feature Request: "SayNumberFiles"

[Danny Nicholas]

With a little familiarity of how SayNumber works, this isn't hard at all.
All that Saynumbers does is parse out the number into 1, 2 or 3 digits and
then plays files from /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits.  In the example the
OP posted, ${numMessages} had a value of 23, so 20.gsm and 3.gsm would be
played back.  To use the read function's single file "capability", you could
use sox to concatenate the files together, or just use the playback example
below or use an AGI like this:
exten => s,1,AGI(nomessages.agi|${nummessages})
exten => s,n,Background(${PART1}&${PART2}&${PART3}&${PART4})
exten => s,n,Read(faxno,beep,1,skip,1,5)

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...
