I then did make menuselect and got the new module app_readstar available for selection. Selected it and built Asterisk as normal. In my dialplan I replaced Read(var,file,blah) with Readstar(var,file,blah). It gives the “right” message if you do core show application readstar, but * does not terminate input as I had hoped/expected it would.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
