The AI Engine

I understand the AI engine will only register things between the () as a key. Once the ) is moved down..BINGO..the key shows up! THANKS again..I looked and looked and didn't see.. I took two days one time over a . So it could be worse. THANKS AGAIN!

Okay, moving the parenthesis works, BUT makes it impossible to isolate the verb part without the -ing, which is why I used the regex in the first place.

Example: If someone says "Quit singing!" I would like Sonora to be able to respond with "But I like to sing!" (without having a separate keyphrase for each and every verb). If regex won't do that, what will?

Good point. Otherwise you could just use a wild card...um..The one thing I wonder is didn't it used to work?

Yes, apparently it used to work. I must've broken it when I tried to use it.

Any ideas on how to get a bot to chat with another bot? I mean, Astrolabe initiates a lot of conversations, but he's only snared Julie Tinkerbell, and I think that's because she's better and nicer than some bots. But still, I seem to be running them off.

I thought about using an alias for this . . .

Say you've got a list of things, like (dylantunes), that contains all the Dylan songs you know of. If I ask someone what his favorite Dylan tune is, is there a way of searching (dylantunes) to find out if I've heard of it?

Thanking you in advance . . .

I think you could just use a seek for (dylantunes). Though I've occasionally had problems matching up multiple-word plugins in seeks. Alternately, you could have separate seeks, with the key words from each title (in case the user doesn't type it in exactly right)

*pounds head on desk* How stupid can I be? I could've figured that out. Thanks, Ulrike.

*sigh* Bad spellers.

Dumb question #493:

I know how to save names now. But what about (key1), etc.? The Book of AI does not, to my knowledge, address this. I have tried all manner of things. But to save whatever the key1 is to memory, what does the line of code look like?

I mean, to save (mem-age), is it:

rem "(age)" as "key1";
rem "(age)" as "(key1)";
rem "(age)" as key1;
rem "(age)" as (key1);

or what? I have tried these four and come up with error messages, so I don't think I have figured this out, and I've been working on solving it myself for some time now. But it must be a simple question, once you learn it.

Try

rem (key1) as "age";

It should store (key1) as a memory that you can use in responses
using (mem-age).

Thanks. I still think you have to declare variables.
