Thanks for that Doulos. Im going to start forcing people to add erehwon...

Given the choice between a (key) and a keyword, which one will the AI engine match first?

For eg: How about a (key)?
How about a walk?

Isaacc - yes but people often use these small words and nothing more. In fact single word responses occur quite often. Hard to form a good response as they lack content but you need to answer it in some way. If not your xnone will quickly be used up. Examples

User: well?
Bot: well, tell me more.

User: yes
Bot: okay, "yes" it is.


Thanks Yoiko, I'll give it a try.

Dear Friends:

Question: If I have a response like:

You're just too sexy for me, (name)! HANGUP

will the other bot or user see the "You're just too sexy for me, (name)!" and then get hung up?

Oops! Never mind! I tried it out, and what I got was,

You're just too sexy for me, Irina! HANGUP

In other words, it didn't hang up, it just wrote the word, "HANGUP".

I always put HANGUP on a line by itself.

Wendell: That's a good point but from experience, it seems to me that ^well$ (re) picks up 'well' when it's on its own or part of a sentence provided it's separated by punctuation (if it's an entire clause, in other words).

Example:

User: Well?

OR

User: Well, I think Zoe is great.

The 'well' in the second one is picked up because it is seperated by the comma, so as far as the AI Engine is concerned, it's a 'well' on its own.

I could be wrong about this, however.

I have only gotten an expression like ^well$ (re) to work when there is not punctuation at all. The (re) searches only for well not well, .
So:
well
would work...
but,
well, i think Zoe is great *sniggers*
would not.

But doulos, preprocessing separates "Well, I think Zoe is great." into two phrases that are searched, "well" and "I think Zoe is great". My experience has been that it works like Laydee explained.

So the , is not included with the well ?

No, punctuation should never be a part of a keyphrase.

No, i meant the (re) doesn't pick that up as part of the search. WHen (re) searches is it searching
Who am i?
or
Who am i
