[asterisk-users] Simple Time of Day Branching problem

[Don Kelly]

I haven't used GotoIfTime with a list of days, but a couple things come to
mind.

The list syntax wasn't in earlier versions (earlier than what, I'm not
sure). The error would suggest that the version you're using doesn't
recognize lists at all.

Then I'm wondering about a logic issue.

Your hours are the same for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so you've
included "tue&thu&sat." However, if the ampersand ("&") in this case is an
"and" operator, it would mean that it currently must be Tuesday and Thursday
and Saturday--an impossibility. You would want to say "tue|thu|sat" so this
branch will be taken if it's Tuesday, or it's Thursday, or it's Saturday. 

So, either the book is wrong or Asterisk has been coded to use something
that looks like "and" to mean "or."

Yes but I also have different hours for tue,thu and wed,fri. In the  
o'reilly book
I have, it shows examples of using & to group them, but I am getting  
the error.
