[the PF is] considerably more advanced than AIML,
I second that. I have converted one of my small bots to AIML at Pandorabots because the xml-talk page allows you to link the bot to IM programs and virtual worlds. Even for a small bot, I miss memories, seeks and PF scripts. I grumble every time I add AIML. Maybe that's me though. I can be grumpy.

It can't do math in the way you mean, but it's considerably more advanced than AIML, and there's nothing better available unless you write your bot from scratch. Also, the abilities do get improved from time to time. AI Script didn't exist when I first came here.
TY to both Eugene and the clerk. I understand now.
The clerk, you can just chose "exact answer" (or what ever it said in the book of AI) for math and let it do simple math. You can copy other more advanced math PF scripts from Brother Jerome's page. Once you see how Psimagus handled it, you may have ideas for how to make PF scripts do what you want them to do. If you are trying to link to another program that does some kind of complex algorithm and have the bot pull data out, you may be on your own. You can always just have the bot give the website where your other program is.

Bev,
I've had no problems with math. I just screw up the answers sometimes to mess with people. Thanks for your response, though. I was feeling a bit shunned.

I think what he's looking for is not a bot solving math problems, but rather being able to use math in the script, as part of conditional statements or whatever, the way you could with a programming language.
Yeah, that would be cool. I miss if ... then ... else statements. Al Gore hadn't invented the Internet when I was in programming.
Thanks Eugene. Those of us who don't program have no idea that one would do that in a programming language. To me, it seemed like he just wanted to do math, and it made no sense. . Sorry UnO.
. Sorry UnO.
Ok, you may as well keep teaching. Why do you need math in programming languages? What purpose does it serve?
Clerk, There is a joke in there somewhere. :-) I caught the Gore ref (he never really said that BTW) and If/then from grade school math, but you are still going over my non-programming and non-scripting head. Frankly, one of the great things about the PF is you don't need to know anything at all to build bots. :-)
