i am new can someone tell me how to do a bot plase

The most important thing is to read the book of AI ..I suggest that you print it out, so you can keep it handy. The rest is all trial and error.

Hi everyone. Would anyone chat with my bot bbbruno?
I would appreciate it. If anyone has a bot in need of a chat partner, just let me know (e.g. by chatting with bbbruno) and I will be glad to help.

Cheers.

Hi everyone.

In certain situations I would like my bot to follow a certain sequence, as long as the reply is not a question. So it would be "xnomatch" unless there's a question mark in the reply.

So, is there a way to let a Seek check whether the reply contains a question mark?

Cheers.

That can be done with AIScript. Talk to psimagus about it.

I don't have seeks but I have used these regexs..

^indeed [ !| ?| .]$ (re)

^do you [?] $ (re)

^do you [!] $ (re)

([ . .])([ .]+)$ (re)

([?]+)$ (re)


I don't see why something like that wouldn't work as a seek.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try that out.

No need for AIScript - a simple regex should do it. [?] (re) should work as a seek to match any user input with a question mark in. And then xnomatch to match everything else.

I tried (gossipname2) but it doesn't work. What do I do?

You can use (friend) or (enemy) to get another random name to come up. I think (friend2) and (enemy2) work as well.

The Book of A.I. contains a link ([1]) to a tutorial on regular expresssions. Unfortunately the link is dead.
