i don't understand the part where it says Ai code???

Oh sure, Psimagus. Give clear directions. Show off.

Since you are here...I'm having trouble with raw mode. I can't get the word "Bacchae" to work for me as a key phrase. I am using pf raw; in the AI script (with the pointy brackets). But since I can't get the end tag for italics to work in this post, and I keep having to re-edit it, I am in big trouble all aound. (If I had a pointy bracket and i to start an italic, shouldn't it end with a \i other pointy bracket?). No wonder I am still copy and pasting in phrases from transcripts. Anyway, I've tried adding "Backache" as a key phrase, which is how "Bacchae" is fixed by spell check, but I still get a xnonsense response.

Any ideas?

Do you mean "AI script"? Ignore it for now - it's a very powerful but complicated way of giving your bot the ability to make choices, store and use memories, tell the time/date, etc.
You'll only make your head hurt if you try to understand all that epxert stuff before you've got the hang of the basics.

Um, did the end of that get chopped off?

I often find raw mode will only work with regexes (seems to be an intermittent server glitch) - have you tried Bacchae (re) in raw mode, ranked 50?
If that doesn't work, then you could use the sledgehammer approach: ([b][a][c][c][h][a][e]) (re) ought to crack it.

Thanks, I will use (re). I kept trying to re-edit the first post. The first one had an issue when I tried to use html tags. That's why I don't use them :-)

PS I was using a backslash before trying to end the tag, it just won't post that way.

Actually, given that there's scope for people misspelling it, ([b][a])([ch]+)([a][e]) (re) might be preferable (it would cover any combination of Cs and Hs in the middle.)

Which tag? underline/bold/italic end with a slash, but colors and font sizes don't end - you just change back to black/0 (or whatever.) Other html tags won't work in a forum post.

(If I had a pointy bracket and i to start an italic, shouldn't it end with a i other pointy bracket?).

italics start with {i} and end with {/i} - change the curly brackets into pointy ones.

I swear I did that. Now it works? They say typing is good for dylexia and related problems, but I don't see how myself. I say, Pixies have invaded my computer and are messing with my keyboard.
