Hi Scott!

You can write a simple ECS event to play a specific .wav file when a
particular person calls.  I'm not sure why you'd want to do this outside of
ECS.  What am I missing?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Cheers!

For any of you that are playing unique wav files based on callerid, are you
doing a lookup in a text file, and if you are, how are you doing this?  I
wrote one that opens the text file and parses through it looking for a space
as a delimiter and then copies the contents of the characters read into a
variable and then renames the default wav file to play, and then it answers
the phone.  But reading the characters one at a time and concatenating and
looping, . . . .   I dread the idea of writing another one, as complicated
as this one was.

How does everyone else do this?
