Ok I found an answer with no more blank time:
collect %myvar count=8
I was abused by the "Scripting Bayonne" PDF where the syntax was:
collect [var=&sym] [count=digits]
so I have always tested things like:
collect var=%myvar count=8
I've also tried without success the following piece of code, %myvar
keeps a NULL value
collect count=8
read %myvar count=8
Thanks for the advice
I think "collect" is what you would normally use for this case. Read
generally deals with parsing dtmf digits that have already been
buffered. You could either use collect in front of read, as in:
collect count=8
read %myvar count=8 format="????????"
Or possibly do it in collect itself:
collect %myvar count=8 format="????????"
