Looping through variables, or sort of but not really arrays [was, bizarrely, RE: [Asterisk-Users] is there a web interface to this mailing list?]

[Mike Pollitt]

Actually, you can do this:

exten => s,1,Set(TRUNK1=foo)
exten => s,n,Set(TRUNK2=bar)
exten => s,n,Set(TRUNK3=gak)
exten => s,n,Set(INDEX=1)
exten => s,n,Set(CURRTRUNK=${TRUNK${INDEX}})
exten => s,n,Dial(${CURRTRUNK}/5555555|60)

and you could increment INDEX (although these are local, (are you local?) so
you'd have to do it locally).

Wow. I'm thinking I've got some agreeance with this. The similarity to
assembler actually hit me today like a freight train, after I once again,
'hit the wall' trying to implement something in extensions.conf.
 
In a shell script, you can do something like this:
 
$var"$num"
 
and if var=NUM and num=1, you'd get NUM1, I was trying to loop through some
variables called NUM1, NUM2, NUM3 etc. Grrrr

	Too funny.  But true.
	
	The first time I did a 'show dialplan' after trying out AEL, I felt
like
	I was seeing an assembler dump of C++ :-)
