The way this works is the command_not_found_handle function in (newer versions of) bash. It needs work and i'm not sure I have a lot of time. So, people who are good with bash, the idea here is to make a bot in the shell that teaches users how to use it... help would be appreciated, otherwise estimated delivery date is december (of 2030). echoline.org/talk_to_alice/other_chatterbots/shelly/ General Bot Discussion - Question http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1274907383/4#4 RiveScript.com/General Bot Discussion http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1274907383/4#4 I'll be sure to shoot you the info. I dunno if by chance you ever played everquest, but the servers use a bastard everquest client. Play is free, but the client is like 20$ so I dunno if youll really be able to see it in action. Perhaps I can just toss screencaps your way. Unless that is, if you turn into a fanatic about 11 year old games between now and proof-of-concept.  <img src="http://www.rivescript.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" /> Perl RiveScript Interpreter - Feature Suggestion - Custom Object Handlers http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237155743/1#1 RiveScript.com/Perl RiveScript Interpreter http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237155743/1#1 Hello.

Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; overflow: auto;">_ = /[A-Za-z\s]+?/ # = /[0-9\s]+?/ * = /.+?/ </pre> And when "l o l" is substituted, the "l o l" has to be isolated in the message. So "mill o load" is left unmodified. This can be seen in the `rsdemo` app that comes with the perl RiveScript module, if you run it on some code that has a substitution for "l o l" (the default set doesn't include this substitution) using `rsdemo --debug` Quote: <div class="quote" style="width: 90%; overflow: auto;">You> my name is Kirsle l o l RiveScript: Get reply to [localuser] my name is Kirsle l o l RiveScript: Checking topic __begin__ for any %previous's. RiveScript: Trying to match "request" against request (request) RiveScript: Found a match! RiveScript: Processing responses to this trigger. RiveScript: Reply: {ok} RiveScript: Checking topic random for any %previous's. RiveScript: There's a %previous in this topic RiveScript: lastReply: that is interesting please continue RiveScript: Try to match lastReply (that is interesting please continue) to whats her name RiveScript: Try to match lastReply (that is interesting please continue) to whats his name RiveScript: Trying to match "my name is kirsle lol" against shutdown{weight=10000} (shutdown) [...] Bot> Kirsle Lol, nice to meet you. and You> my name is mill o load [...] RiveScript: Trying to match "my name is mill o load" against my name is * (my name is (.+?)) RiveScript: Found a match! RiveScript: Processing responses to this trigger. RiveScript: Reply: <set name=<formal>>Nice to meet you, <get name>. RiveScript: Set uservar name => Mill O Load Bot> Nice to meet you, Mill O Load. </div> PHP is pretty similar to Perl in syntax so you might be able to adapt the substitution code directly over to PHP. Here's the code: Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; height: 300px; overflow: auto;">sub _formatMessage { my ($self,$string) = @_; # Lowercase it. $string = lc($string); # Run substitutions on it. foreach my $pattern (@{$self->{sortlist}->{subs}}) { my $result = $self->{subs}->{$pattern}; $result =~ tr/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/; my $qm = quotemeta($pattern); $string =~ s/^$qm$/<rot13sub>$result<bus31tor>/ig; $string =~ s/^$qm(\W+)/<rot13sub>$result<bus31tor>$1/ig; $string =~ s/(\W+)$qm(\W+)/$1<rot13sub>$result<bus31tor>$2/ig; $string =~ s/(\W+)$qm$/$1<rot13sub>$result<bus31tor>/ig; } while ($string =~ /<rot13sub>(.+?)<bus31tor>/i) { my $rot13 = $1; $rot13 =~ tr/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/; $string =~ s/<rot13sub>(.+?)<bus31tor>/$rot13/i; } # Format punctuation. $string =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9 ]//g; $string =~ s/^\s+//g; $string =~ s/\s+$//g; return $string; } </pre> Basically, it takes the result text for each substitution (e.g. "what is" for "whats"), rot13-encodes it, and then substitutes "whats" for "<rot13sub>jung vf</bus31tor>" until it's all done running substitutions, and then it goes through and looks for the rot13-encoded text it put in and decodes it and removes the temporary tags it put around it. quotemeta() is a Perl function that automatically escapes regular expression special characters. The regexps themselves: Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; overflow: auto;">/^$qm$/ /^$qm(\W+)/ /(\W+)$qm(\W+)/ /(\W+)$qm$/ </pre> (\W+) matches any character that is not a word character (word characters are numbers and letters, but not spaces). So for "l o l" these regexps match: 1. if the message consists *only* of the text "l o l" 2. if the message begins with "l o l" & is then followed by a space or other non-word character 3. if the message contains "l o l" as one of its words (surrounded by a space or non-word character on either side) 4. if the message ends with "l o l" and has a space or non-word char before it. The reason for the rot13 encoding is to stop the substitutions from undoing each other. This is especially important for person substitutions, where you might have: Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; overflow: auto;">! person you are = I am ! person i am = you are </pre> If it replaces "you are" with "I am", and then replaces "I am" with "you are", you'd end up with the same text you started with. So, it rot13-encodes it when it puts in the substituted text so that the rest of the substitutions don't interfere with the text that it already replaced. It's a weak approach, I know; perhaps a better one would be to keep an array of all the substitutions it made and just insert small numbered tags, like <0>, <1>, <2>, etc... and then replace those tags with the items from the array. Getting Started - Stupid Alice http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1259792979/1#1 RiveScript.com/Getting Started http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1259792979/1#1 A lot of that is because Alice is sentence-based and RiveScript is not. In an Alicebot the user's message is split into one or more sentences and each sentence gets its own reply. All the combined replies from Alice are then returned to the user as one response. Similarly, Alice's "last reply" to the user (used for <that> matching on your next pattern) only stores the last sentence that Alice said, and not her full message. Here is the relevant AIML code from Alice: Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; overflow: auto;"><category> <pattern>*</pattern> <that>WHAT IS YOUR NAME</that> <template><srai>CALL ME <star/></srai> </template> </category> </pre> Java RiveScript Interpreter - Development SVN http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1257375128/0#0 RiveScript.com/Java RiveScript Interpreter http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1257375128/0#0 You can get a highly developmental version of the Java RiveScript interpreter via subversion now: Code:<pre class="code" style="margin: 0px; width: 90%; overflow: auto;">svn checkout http://svn.kirsle.net/repos/RiveScript-java/trunk RiveScript-java </pre> At the time of this writing, it doesn't support a whole lot yet... parsing is mostly complete, most of the tags in replies work... weighted triggers and weighted/random replies work, redirections work, but conditionals do not work yet; nor do topic inheritence/includes or the %previous. RiveScript.java is full of "TODO" keywords everywhere around parts that aren't yet implemented. What it can do though is basic chat and learning and repeating user variables. I'm just posting this for anyone who wants to get a super early look at the new Java RS interpreter. RiveScript Codes - AIML's Alice for RiveScript http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1248975743/1#1 RiveScript.com/RiveScript Codes http://www.rivescript.com/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1248975743/1#1 Cheers! Thanks for the work, have been looking for the perfect "entity" to use as part of my little home automation project. And given how hard AIML is hard to read and understand, and how most chatbot projects are dead since 2006, and I have no idea how to run scripts from inside them, RiveScript is perfect, esp. with the bot being able to execute Perl out of the box. (i'm not a pro programmer =P ) will be trying Alice out in RiveScript when I get home.  <img src="http://www.rivescript.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/grin.gif" border="0" alt="Grin" />
