There are a few applications and functions that may help you out.

In Asterisk 10 or before try the ReadFile application. Otherwise in 11
or beyond I believe you want the FILE function.

You could also use the SHELL function to execute a command on the
system and capture output

Then you might also look into Asterisk Gateway Interface for more
complex tasks and control.

If you are learning Asterisk; the book I linked above contains some
great information on AGI and is written by some of our notable
community members. The latest edition is available here:
