Hmmm...Never thought of that. It's so weird though, because I have lots of script strings in one set of brackets, formatted exactly as above, that work just fine...maybe it's something to do with with chrono statements. Anyway, I'll give that a try. Thanks again, Ulrike.

I've had a few problems with this too but I've found that if you put the chrono at the end of the statement it works. ie:

<?PF express:amused; chrono: week(SU); ?>

YAY! (still a pain to go back and change each and every one of those, but)
Woot! That works.
Ty, Rykxx

Technical question, so I can move on to responsiveness in my bots -- can you have a list of plug ins in which a plug in has a comma in it (Ain't you missin' me, Bobby McGee), and, if so, how, please?

Thanks.

Never mind. The surest way for me to find out stuff on my own is to post it. I think I got it now. Raw mode.

Yeah, or I was thinking, you could create a custom plug-in.

All right, dumb question. But consider that I have been foisting dumb bots on botland, and I'm trying to remedy that.

Why does this response yield itself verbatim:
Well, Boswell has the (adjnoun)s again.

I thought it should go:
Well, Boswell has the poisoned frogs again, or something in that vein.

Apologies all around for my bots, and thanks for the chats.

I think you'd want to use (adj) (noun)s in that case. You might be better off with (adj) (object)s, because there are some rather odd nouns in the (noun) plug-in.

(adjnoun) picks up a combination of adjectives and nouns in a keyphrase, but doesn't do anything at all in a response.

O. Thanks.

Once upon a time Regex could tell the difference between upper case and lower case couldn't it? I know I might just have imagined it but I'm sure it should be able to.... All the stuff online says it can so why can't I get the bloody thing to work?

*sigh* It's late and I must apologise to Vetinari for the endless references to the *caps lock* key.

Any ideas?

Can't be much help, but I can add another gripe.

It also used to be that capitalizing (Key1) would capitalize the first letter of the key when used in a response. Now it seems to use a lowercase letter consistently. It's particularly annoying when you want to begin a sentence with (Key1) or (Key2), or anything similar.

(Key1) would capitalize the first letter of the key

Try using (KEY1). It works for me.....
