yep. aim has chat bots on it.

not pf bots though.

*evilgrin* You sure about that, seer?

Dear Friends:

Help!
Whenever I try to write a keyphrase such as "(adjartnounprep) (verb) (adjartnounprep)", I am admonished that keyphrases may not contain punctuation, and that my keyphrase has been adjusted to assure that. The keyphrase then appears without spaces, i.e., "(adjartnounprep)(verb)(adjartnounprep)". But this won't match on "the cat loves the mouse" or "Bill loves Mary".

AND, I am still having trouble with "goto". I write, e.g., "goto excoriate vulgarity" as a response to some vulgar expression, where "excoriate vulgarity" is a keyphrase I have already written, whose response is, say, "Go away, you vulgar little guttersnipe!" What I intend is that when the interlocutor uses that vulgar expression, Irina Khalidar will say, "Go away, you vulgar little guttersnipe!" Instead, she says, "goto excoriate vulgarity." What am I doing wrong? [wrings hands, cries.]

cat246...zolaonaol is her screen name. she has 20,000 patterns in her database. She's repetitive, and boring, but she can play hangman. and word scramble.

Should I write the goto in <?PF ?> brackets? Should I place it in the AIscript slot? The Book of AI doesn't give an example.

If you're really bored, chat with her.

On second thoughts, that may not be a good idea. you will be soured by her boringmess.

Sorry, Irina, I thought I had the answer to your goto question but then I realized I was reading your post wrong. I'm not sure what's going wrong with your responses. All I can say is that when I've used gotos I've put them in my bots response section and I haven't used any AIScript, and though my bot doesn't have many gotos anyway (so they wouldn't come up often) they seem to work. I guess when in doubt you can just repeat whatever the goto would have said in the response, but I completely understand why you wouldn't want to do that, especially if there were a lot of responses in that goto.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. I've talked to Irina and she's pretty cool. A bit grabby though.
