jkroker how would I detect if the user does type anything and just presses enter?

jkroker how would I detect if the user does not type anything and just presses enter? i mean.

Oh, well when there is a hyphen in the "times matched" field that just means zero: that response has never been matched before.

on matching blank input, I don't see a way personally. I just tested a few options but they all failed, I always just get xnone. :S

sometimes people do not type anything they just press enter.that is why I asked.

I wish I could mass edit the rank of my keyphrase.Because a lot my
chatbot keyphrases stop working a lot.And it is a pain to go through
every one of them one at a time.

Hey im new to this and i am wonder how to make my bot lock someone into a story line so they can just say a response from halfway through and the story wont end if they say the wrong thing

Ok how do i make one keyphrase have multiple branching responses

use seeks in chatbotworkshop.

Is there a way to URLDecode chat messages coming into the API before they are matched to the keyphrases? The transcripts are showing that punctuation is encoded and it is throwing off matching.

@Mojo the Magnificent are you certain that your HTTP requests didn't accidentally add an extra layer of encoding? Transcripts when I use the API do not suggest the input phrases are URL encoded by the time the bot gets them.

@ bobstack I talked to urt and pioyu for a bit. When talking to pioyu she gave the following problematic replies:

ruebot: where do you live?
pioyu: that is a complete sentence but I do not know what you mean. sometimes I do not know what you mean.do you like amtrack mall?

Here she appears to have appended the desired answer to the end of the sentence. "sometimes I do not know what you mean.do you like amtrack mall?"

ruebot: do you love me?
pioyu: Of course! that is a complete sentence but I do not know what you mean. Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from.

In this instance she appears to have initially given the correct answer, "Of course!" then went on with the bit about "that is a complete sentence".

urt had problems with her keyphrases and should at least default to an xnone or xnonsense response if there isn't a category for a question.

Unless something to the effect of "that is a complete sentence but I do not know what you mean" is what you have for responses in those categories.

IIRC, you once said it messaged you that you had "too many seeks". I don't know what the problem is.

If it was me, which it is not, I would start with making sure I had a database that was not corrupted in some manner and go with more categories and less seeks.

I have been having a lot of problems with keyphrases lately.i always have to increase the rank on a lot of them.
