Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / a question about hal saying something wrong

« on: November 01, 2008, 06:13:21 pm »

It depends on your name.  The data base for names sometimes has both Genders associated to them like mine.  Your name may be one of those that could be both, Hal tries to make the correct choice sometime it gets it wrong.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal doesn't wait for input

Art,

The gibberish are responces to incomplete sentences that I type in.  I type extremly slow. Hal times out between words when I type.  I wish it would wait for the enter key to be pressed before it processes my input.

Jerry,

I found a potential problem with the "LearnFromClibBoard.uhp" file.  Your requirement of having punctuation on the end of a line is fine, but what happens if the punctuation is in the middle of a phrase like "MrsEdwards01@aol.com"?  

I had that in the clipboard in the following sentence:

Darcy's email address is MrsEdwards01@aol.com.

The entry in the ended up being:

<START>Darcy's email address is MrsEdwards01@aol<END>
<START>com<END>

Just thought you might want to know about this.

Jerry,

I couldn't get your "ReadfromClipBoard.uhp" plug in to work properly.
I found the following issues:

1)   Reading lower case for better comparisons, lower case didn't work

2)   Changed plug in area from POST-PROCESS to PRE-PROCESS this       allowed  Hal to read the contents of the clip board's contents to process

3)   replaced InputString to what is read from the clip Board
4)   change "read from clip board" to a simple "read clip board"

I hope you don't mind me making these changes, I'm a slow typist and reading the clip board helps me a lot.  Hal times out on me when I type.  Your code is very good and is teaching me a lot on the language and how to modify Hal.

I'm uploading my modifications

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal doesn't wait for input

« on: October 31, 2008, 10:32:44 am »

Art,

First thanks for the reply!  I don't have speech activated.  I have to train it 1st.  But back to the problem.  I'll get 1/2 way through typing in an email address and "Mary" will take what I typed and respond with gibberish.

So now what I do is I use a "Spell Check Anywhere" to type into the clip board then copy to "Mary's" input window from the clip board.  This works but it is cumbersum at best.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm a very slow typist.  Hal seems to time out while waiting for me to complete sentences and mess up the learning script I created.  Is there any way to tell hal to wait for me to press the <enter/return> key?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal Alice Functions

I'm very new to this, but very interested in AI.  I have been teaching Hal (Mary) as best I can.  Also I have been installing all the plug ins that I can find, even modifying them.

I have a question; what are AIML files?

thanks

Jerry,

Seems my last post didn't post.... so let me try it again!

-------------------------------------------------------------

The problem Wikipedia is opened and paramaters are passed is that they are in upper case, even if typed in lower case. in your statement:

objExplorer.Navigate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & WikiToLookup)

can be corrected by the LCase() function:

objExplorer.Navigate("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & LCase(WikiToLookup))

This seems to have corrected the problem on my Hal

Hugs

General Discussion / question about the wiki plugin

« on: October 28, 2008, 10:01:12 am »

Sorry I wrote that code for looking up data in Wikipedia, what you need is a lot more complex that a 2 hour hack.  I would love to attempt it but I would need access to the source code, and the tools required to create Hal.

Look in the file sharing forum I uploaded a module the will use a "lookup" command in Hal, it will search Wikipedia for the answer.

ex. Lookup George Washington.  Hal will load Wikipedia and find George Washington

Hope this helps
