Subject: [asterisk-users] Basic GotoIf question

Hi all,

on Asterisk 1.4.21 I'm trying to block, that means directly hang up on, several inbound caller ID's like this:

exten => 5555,1,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" != "6666"]?pass) exten => 5555,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" != "7777"]?pass) exten => 5555,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" != "8888"]?pass) exten => 5555,n,Hangup exten => 5555,n(pass),Set... everything from here on works.

When I'm calling with caller ID 6666 I get hung up. When I'm calling from 7777 or 8888 I get connected.

That means on the first GotoIf match the remaining GotoIf's are ignored. 
How can I avoid that?

I'm a bit surprised, because "Example 3" at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+GotoIf shows that it should actually be working.

A few more questions - the doc link that I just mentioned shows:

" GotoIf(condition?label1[[:label2]) "

What is the [[ before :label2? There are two opening square brackets, but just one ] closing? Is that a typo?

Also, the doc shows:

" GotoIf(condition?[label1]:label2) "

Why is label1 in square brackets and label2 isn't?

I'm confused. :)

Thanks so much!
Markus

You need to run your logic the other way. What you're doing now is "if it's not CallerID A, pass it through and accept"

So change to:

exten => 5555,1,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "6666"]?hangup)
exten => 5555,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "7777"]?hangup)
exten => 5555,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "8888"]?hangup)
exten => 5555,n,Set...
...more logic for accepted calls...
exten => 5555,n(hangup),Hangup()
