Bug Stomp

I have a little problem to match a keyphrase:

I am 6' <?PF raw; ?> //as in 6 foot tall
Even if I put a space between 6 and ' it still strips the apostrophe - ‘- out, even in raw mode...

It still defaults to I am (1|2|3|4|5|6 ....etc) // as in age

This came up only once in a chat, but still it would be nice if the bot knew when to congratulate the person for being able to use a PC at such a young age, or to comment on their height…

I can live with that suppose... I could use seek to ask a question - is it your age or height, but that would give the bot away as a bot, as most humans would know that 6' is 6 foot/feet tall/long/distance/height etc.

The other thing that bugs me is that sometimes, not always, if I write a new keyphrase/response pair (hell, I'll call a new "category" for old time's sake)
the upload would strip out * and turns (*) to (). I get an error message saying there should be no punctuation in keyphrases when this happens. This has not yet happened when importing the mindfile. Clearly * and (*) are not punctuation that should be stripped out. If I stubbornly repeat the process 2-3 times the system will eventually accept * or (*), even if I don't change keyphrase in any way.

I say, it's a bug.

Now my wish-list: (not sure if I should post it elsewhere)

It would be nice if there was an AI engine plugin (time) and (date). We already have (year), (month), (dayofweek).

One of the simplest things the contest judges may ask is “what time it is.” I have used chrono scripts to say – It’s around 1 p.m,

But do I really look like a clock? // and similar variations

For the * getting stripped out in a wild card, retype and just keep trying. It can take two or three attempts.

We do have a time plug in. It's (time) I have used the chrono scripts on Bildgesmythe and the plug in on other bots.

for the height you can't use the apostrophe. just use

I am ([1234567890,.]+) then I am ([1234567890,.]+) years

You: what time is it
Bot: Where I am it's 19

Keyphrase
time,what is the time,clock,clocks,what time

response where I am it's (time)     

Many thanks, great news about the (time) plugin! Really appreciate.

Regarding regular expressions I don't yet understand them too well. But I think the example you gave is basically:

“I am (followed by any number)”

I am not sure this is going to help much. People never say I am 21 years old, just I am 21…

So basically there is no way to differentiate between:

I am 6 and
I am 6'
?

But I can live with it. It's a rear occurance when somebody gives their height, and rear to see 6 y o typists...

Errata: Rare*

You can capture the memories by asking How old or how tall.

try this:

^i am ([0-9\']) (re) (use a backslash between 9 and the apostrophe to escape the apostrophe)

use (key1)' in your response.

Many thanks! I will try both tips, and report back to Bug-Stomping Committee. (sorry, I could’t resist it, it’s 1 April, lol!)

I had that error also, i found out that you need to put a backslash between the 9 and the "'".

From Debug:
Find: ^i am ([0-9']) (re) (59) Time: 8.79
(Found)

For some reason the backslash is not showing in the post and Debug.

I have the same problem, only the error is on a different line; and it is not possible to chat to any other bots too. I have not tried to chat to them all, but I suspect all are affected.

Seems like all of my hibenating bots have been removed which is okay as i didn't plan on working on them any longer. The site is blazingly fast today, perhaps during maintenance things have been removed accidently?

I can't seem to abort my bot, nor create another one. I guess I'm in limbo all together here.

It is not possible to chat to any bots at all. There are no new transcripts.

Lars, regarding the 6'5'' height matching quest.
