Bug Stomp

hmm. yes but whats the advantages 0f it?

You find your errors and any duplication

and you can use your favourite text editor or word processor, with no delay having to wait while the browser loads up separate pages for each letter

Oh yes, and you can run spellcheck. When I get around to it, I still have to export and run spell check every so often.

Not to discourage anyone about import/export, but it seems to be very unreliable about accepting AI Scripts. It discards them without an error message. I've confirmed this a number of times. I can't figure out if the problem is my formalisms or a bug, because it's so hard to see the dang things once they are imported.

I have a ton of AI scripts...never lost one????Which ones did you lose..I have chrono scripts..conditional ones..and stupid ones I made up that, I am ever so surprised that they work? Are you using the tab key or the space key when you indent?

I'm indenting with tabs. I'm willing to believe that the problem is user error, but I'm sure stumped by it. I lost a raft of AI Scripts after I thought I had it figured out.

Here's one that will not stick for love or money; tildes are tabs:
Something to drink?
~+ xnomatch [0]
~Coffee?
~~+ yes [0] <?PF rem "coffee" as "youlike";?>
            
M

I've found the problem, mickmca. We need to put a space after the semicolon.

so, this doesn't work
+ yes [0] <?PF rem "coffee" as "youlike";?>

but this does
+ yes [0] <?PF rem "coffee" as "youlike"; ?>

I still can't get mine to import. I know I don't have any blank keyphrases. Dunno how the 8048 present lines got doubled - I added 2 lines to it for testing.

Present Lines: 8048 • Import Lines: 16100

ERROR: Keyphrases cannot be blank.

What are you editing it with? Sounds like it's adding an extra carriage return to each line, and double-spacing the file (so every other line will be a blank one.)

I've tried it with both notepad and WordPad. Tried saving it as both plain text and RTF (which I didn't expect to work anyway)

it ought to work with Notepad, though it can add spurious hard breaks to files when saving if wordwrap is on.
I can highly recommend textpad (http://www.textpad.com) - it's fully-featured shareware, and I've never had any problems like that with it. Plus it can sort, spellcheck, find & replace, use macros and handle regexes very capably.
