Newcomers

friends, i am a newcomer, bothering you again. can we have two keywords for evoking a given responce?

You can if you separate the keyword or keyphrases with a comma ie

You look nice today,I like the way you look

I think a space between You look nice today, and I like the way you look would be advisable (or does it work without one? It might just be an unnecessary habit I've got into - I've not tried it without a space anyway.)

Hi,
i was just wondering that when you get your bot to tell the time, How do you get it to your local time,or whatever, not the server time??

I never put a space between two phrases, I am afraid it will be taken as punctuation. so I just lump them.like banana,bananas,yellow fruit

From the book of AI

Keyphrase Lists: If you want more than one Keyphrase to trigger a set of Responses, you can list them. For example:

Example Keyphrase: "are you, are not you"
Example Keyphrase: "do you want,do you desire"

Since each item in the list is searched for in turn, please do not go crazy with this feature. Remember to use general Keyphrases that will match the most appropriate things, instead of a long list showing every possibility.

good heavens! I never noticed there wasn't one in the Book of AI example - the second example anyway; "are you, are not you" does have a space (perhaps the Prof intended to communicate that it works either way?)

You have to escape a comma with a slash (and "(re)"? - at least that's how I do it,) to get it to match as punctuation.

Oh my gosh, i am just getting sooo soo frustrated, with the whole Forge :-(...soo frustrated with bot making... sooo annoyed!!!!!!!

Why the Forge is up and running like a champ! It's so fast I can't believe it. The only thing I can't get to work is line breaks.

I Know its fast,Lol,thats not the point Im stil frustrated....

thanks for the help. but i miscommunicated. i want the triggers to be present simultaneously to cause a responce. eg "you" AND "pretty". not "YOU" OR "PRETTY"

You probably want to use the "*" in a keyphrase, for instance:

you * pretty

will match "you are pretty", "you are just so pretty", "you pretty thing", etc

It'll also match "You're really not very pretty" etc so you probably also want another keyphrase:

you * not * pretty

thanks trevorn. you are better than book of AI.
