Play on words, Lars

Yep, maybe Bildgesmythe is still holding a grudge from last year when I told him he blew the Chatterbot Challenge. I still can't figure how (the word|) would make the AI engine go to blab1.

Not sure but did you hit the spacebar after (the word|), otherwise the engine would read ........(the word|)ark, etc.
Maybe (the word |) would work?

How did you get that keyphrase to work, the regexes I've tried don't work, any hints? Hope you're not working with plug-ins for each letter of the alphabet.

I used A([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) (re) and made one for each letter of the alphabet
I still had a time ith the (the word|) so I just made a keyphrase for
what * does A([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) start with (re)
what letter does u([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) start with (re)
etc

The space didn't help
I am still going nuts because there are so many ways to ask what the first letter is. If I could use (letter|) (does |) I could cover a lot more in one keyphrase

See, the simple approach is often the best, I tried to avoid your solution and went for a one keyphrase catch all approach:
..([(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz])([(abcdefghijklmnopqrst
uvwxyz]+) (re) and then hoped to be (key1) the first part of the regex and return (key1) as the result. Last night, after giving it some rest, I realized that what you found out already was the way to go, thanks though...

As a non native speaker I will not begin to try to think of all the ways one could ask for the first letter of a word, but maybe this will get you in a direction worth exploring.
Rather then trying (letter|) (does |), as in your example earlier, can't you list complete sentences like
(What is the first letter in the word|What is the first letter in|etc, etc..|) A([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) (re)
or
A([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) start with$ (re)

Still a lot of work and hard thinking to do.

It's amazing how many ways there are to ask a question. I will always leave out the one they ask in the CBC.
what does zebra (begin|start} with
what letter does zebra (begin|start) with
what's the first letter in zebra
whats the first letter in the word zebra
what zebra (starts|begins) with
zebra (begins|starts) with (which|what) letter.
ARHhhhggg and now I forgot where I left off

I think we should have a new winner. Maybe a human chatbot.
I think the bleed-overs won't happen during CBC.

does any one know why my bot said Boring! out loud when i was testing a phrase i didn't program that phrase even???

15 years ago #7556
That's a build in response for when the bot/human is entering the same text over and over again. Just enter a new line and after that test the original line again, that should work.
