VXML transfer app with variable length phone number

[budfox128]

In a vxml app running on a router I am trying to use a variable length in the telephone number entered by the caller / user.

This works just fine with the router dial-peers if the telephone number is 11 digits...

<form id="get_number">

<field name="phone_number" type="digits?minlength=7;maxlength=11">

<grammar type="application/grammar+regex">...........</grammar>

<prompt>

<audio>etc...

</prompt>

</field>

<transfer name="theCall" destexpr="'phone://'+phone_number" connecttimeout="30s" bridge="false">

etc...

This works just fine if the user enters 11 digits (i.e. US long distance call) but just hangs with 7 digits (a local call) waiting for the other 4 digits. Is there a way to make the grammar a variable length so the person can call single digit ("0"), or 3 digit ("411"), or 7 or 10 digit local calls, or 11 digit long distance calls? I would settle for calls between 7 and 11 digits.

Thanks,

Bud

Your regexp only matches 11 characters, ie 11 dots. To match between 7 and 11 char you could do

.{7,11}

Note this would also match 8,9,10, and . matches ANY character including # or a-z.

Also, make sure you have dial-peers that will match the shorter number. There are more complicated ways to do it that would do 3,7,11, but this should get you started. Read up on regular expressions.
