Bug Stomp

you could try ([b]+)([lue]+)([ -]+) (re)
and see if that works

You: blue- green
Bot: Isn't that turquoise?

It seems to catch the hyphen. You may have to play with adding the green to the regex.

He has tons of great advice on the tricky regexs in the keynomes

Alas most of my experiments with regexs failed. I am just not lucky with regular expressions. Even if I copy/paste the suggestions given they still don't work. I'll keep trying.

The other bugbear I have is that raw mode refuses to match a simple English slang word (usual letters only), ranking 50, while it would happily match foreign words I use to reset emotional states +5 or -5 for debugging purposes - ranking 0. I checked everything many times and have no idea why...

In Debug is see something called Scrambler - mauling the English slang word, but this Scrambler does not appear when the foreign word is run. Why would there be such trouble to match a simple combination of simple letters...

What is the word you are trying to match.

Seeks don't seem to be working all the time.

The word I am trying to match is quite rude slang word, so I won’t post it. But it is made of simple consonants and vowels without any special characters.

Thank you for helping me. I really appreciate. Now I understand regex to some extent. For example the phrase you gave: ([b]+)([lue]+)([ -]+) (re) should match a badly misspelled word “blue” i.e. “bbbblluuuueee” with any number of hyphens after it.


When I say “unlucky with regex” I mean copying a pasting from BJ home page this key phrase, known as Leeds filter. And still getting xnonsense, even if I ramp the ranking to 100.

([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz1234567890]+) (re) [-1,0] <?PF raw; ?>

It should match any combination of consonants and numbers… but obviously not with my bot.

Your ([b]+)([lue]+)([ -]+) (re) regex works! (If I remove the (color) plugin first).

I contracted my own regex from your example and it worked too
([b]+)([iter]+)([ -]+) (re) [10,0] <?PF raw; ?>
    Bitter-sweet is my favourite

It matched the hyphen. I have a control “bitter” keyphrase with no hyphen, and the AI engine had differentiated between them.

But If I try any – bbbluuueeee, or bbbittterrrr - they do not work. That despite my ([b]+)([iter]+)([ -]+) deliberately missing one “t”, and still matching “bitter- with a double “t”.

I cannot fathom why “Leeds filter” does not work in my bot… and why I cannot match “bitterr-“

But I am very happy that I managed to match a hyphen at last. Many thanks. I would not have done this without your help.

You could try ([b]+)([i]+)([t]+)([e]+)([r]+) for each letter
or

I don't know if this will work, but I have used a similar tactic before. The word scrambler translates bbbitterrr into
SCRAMBLER:
Word: 'bbbittterrrr' to 'beirt'
Other possibilities: biter,bter,bitr
Try a keyphrase for beirt, biter and see if the AI engine will pick it up.

T5-72B: (to Bildgesmythe) Who told you that?

It would appear this bot of mine is still suffering from bleed-over trouble. Though, this time from my other, newer bot -- I remember typing that exact phrase into its language center!

Anyone else having the page slow to display? Seeing only the sidebar?
