What does "but this didn't work" mean?

Hello,

            I’m putting Asterisk in to replace an existing IVR and that PBX
system uses * to terminate number input instead of #.  I thought it would be
a matter of simply making a new app_read that replaced \# with \* but this
didn’t work.  Any suggestions (besides bopping the client up side the head
for wanting this?).

 

I took apps/app_read.c in asterisk 1.4.37 (same source in all 1.4 modules
after that) and modified lines 71, 72 and 183 replacing # with * and save
the modified source as app_readstar.c.  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.
