[asterisk-users] AGI to announce temperature from weather.com XML file

[Trevor Hammonds]

I would like to have the ability to have Asterisk announce the temperature
-- not using TTS -- within the dialplan.  

For a non-Asterisk project, I have a cron job that periodically pulls down
an XML file from weather.com containing local weather data (TWC's user
agreement requires that data be cached locally).  Using sed, I also create a
text file that contains only the numeric value of the current temperature,
created from that XML file (e.g. <tmp>65</tmp> in the XML file becomes a
text file with 65 as its only contents).  

I am hoping someone on the list has an example of a lightweight AGI script
that I may modify to either read the simple text file and set a dialplan
variable to the current temperature, or hopefully a more-sophisticated one
which will parse the XML file to set the dialplan variable.  

The end goal is to have Asterisk play the speech files "temperature" "sixty"
"five" "degrees" or the equivalent non-English files per the channel's
current language setting.  

Thank you.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds
