[asterisk-users] Any way of creating a file to write to from the dialplan, or must I use AGI?

[Jonathan H]

Ugh. Thanks, John.

I took another look at your example, and saw that you had a ,u at the end.

So, even though that supposedly only specifies the line format, it
also seems to act as "create if not exist".

Problem solved - thanks! I'll add that to my ever lengthening list of
Asterisk tips/gotchas!
