[asterisk-users] AEL2 Looping

[Douglas Garstang]

I actually did get it to work, by removing _all_ spaces from the for line...
 
for (x=0;${x}<3;x=${x}+1) {
 
This works for me. It's just a matter of finding WHICH space is breaking it.

	Russel,
	
	Stupid question, but isn't the AEL2 parser supposed to handle the above code
	first? Hypothetically, if the parser DOES handle the code the example given
	by Murf on voip-info (which is the exact code Douglas posted, other than the
	name new_pbx_betty_start) should work properly. Also, to answer your
	question, removing the space does not help. I'm actually getting a bug
	report together concerning this, and I tested it with and without spaces in
	multiple places in the for loop definition. I'd give examples but I don't
	have access right now.
	
	Keep up the great work guys!
