The Book of A.I. contains a link ([1]) to a tutorial on regular expresssions. Unfortunately the link is dead.

psimagus has a great link for regexs...I just can't find it right now..Can anyone else remember the link?

I FOUND IT

http://www.regular-expressions.info/

Thanks prob. This site would not be the same without you.
Wikipedia has a good page on regex too.

bear in mind that the Forge's flavour of regex is slightly different from that described @ http://www.regular-expressions.info/ (or anywhere else.) You may need to tinker, and some of the advanced flagging and spanning options don't work.

I've already been experimenting, getting some puzzling but highly interesting results.

Hi Im New to this program I have worked with the A.L.IC.E. Is there a PDF book on the softe were here so I can work off line with my bot?

Read the Book of AI. It's not PDF, but you can print it out/download it/etc.

Hi knightstar. If you've only used AIML you're in for a treat. The two biggest advantages of the Forge for me are "seeks" (so much better than "THAT") and the ability to match specific parts of speech as wildcards, eg (noun)

Have fun!

Hi Trevorm do you have a list I can work from so I have a working Ide of how this all works togeather. I feel the AI book is just not buting the parts in a good I ide on how it gose togeather. The Info. is good in the book and helps .......I just need more info. I am working on a Android girl that has a mimic program for body movment Phase I is going good (12" 1/2" tall) Phase II she will be 5' 5" or 5' 6".

The book of AI seems hard at first. If you print it out, so you can read it as you program your bot, it begins to make sense. Don't be in a big hurry to do everything at once.

Don't be in a big hurry to do everything at once.

Sound advice. Once you've read the advanced and expert sections (you'll inevitably want to read them,) go back to the "beginner" chapter 2 of the book, and stick to that for at least a couple of weeks before attempting complex regexes, memories and AI Script. If you try to run before you learn to walk, you risk making a deeply frustrating mess of your bot
