Asterisk GoToIf else question

I can't get my head round the asterisk gotoif/else. I'm using the 'n' numbering, but i want to do something like this:

switch (MyVar)
{
    case 1: exten => s,n,(dial1),Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider1/${dialednum},30,g)
    case 2: exten => s,n,(dial2),Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider2/${dialednum},30,g) 
    case 2: exten => s,n,(dial3),Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider3/${dialednum},30,g)
}
carry on with lots more stuff..

Open in new window

i.e. i don't want to execute a hangup() after each branch, i have a lot of other stuff common to case 1,2,3 i want to add.

I think that looks like it..., let me just see.

I'm doing as you suggested, but I'm getting " Sent to invalid extension 'Provider1'
here's my extensionts.conf:

exten => s,n, GoToIf(${STAT(e,/home/silas/csharp/DialPlanBranches/B1/ChooseMe.txt)}=1 ? Provider1,1 )
exten => s,n, GoToIf(${STAT(e,/home/silas/csharp/DialPlanBranches/B2/ChooseMe.txt)}=1 ? Provider2,1 )
exten => s,n, GoToIf(${STAT(e,/home/silas/csharp/DialPlanBranches/B3/ChooseMe.txt)}=1 ? Provider3,1 )
exten => s,n, GoToIf(${STAT(e,/home/silas/csharp/DialPlanBranches/B4/ChooseMe.txt)}=1 ? Provider4,1 )
exten => s,n, GoToIf(${STAT(e,/home/silas/csharp/DialPlanBranches/B5/ChooseMe.txt)}=1 ? Provider5,1 )

exten => Provider1,1,Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider/${dialednum},30,g)
exten => Provider2,1,Dial(SIP/VoIPProviderSipgate/${dialednum},30,g)
exten => Provider3,1,Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider/${dialednum},30,g)
exten => Provider4,1,Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider/${dialednum},30,g)
exten => Provider5,1,Dial(SIP/VoIPProvider/${dialednum},30,g)

I'm on 1,8, can I use the exten=>textLable,priority, in 1.8?

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but your code:

extern=>  s,n,GoToIf(MyVAr  = 3? Provider3,1)

Open in new window

the syntax is slightly wrong!!! it should be:

extern=>  s,n,GoToIf(MyVAr  = 3?: Provider3,1)
extra colon when only one if-then!!!

That was throwing my dialplan out. I am very grateful for seeing the 'named extenstion' way of branching, and you do remember things a bit better when you have to work for them!

Phonebuff

Sorry,

I haven't had to write a dial plan context in a few months. Was working from memory.

Glad you got it working.
