Is it ok to............

[echoman]

The brain editor is ok but if I find a mis-spelt word then it can take hours to change all the entries.

In Hal 5 I used to use Agent Ransack to find little spelling mistakes many files at once. I found the program very usefull.

Is it still ok to edit files with Agent Ransack, or do you have to always go through the brain editor? If I try and edit files the AR will I upset Hals new licence system and stop Hal from working?

Oh yes, and what are the name of the files that I should edit?

Thankyou.

In Hal 6, all data is stored in 1 file, HalBrain.db. This is a SQLite database file. The only way to edit it is using either the HalBrain Editor, a command-line sqlite tool, or sqlite cc from http://bobmanc.home.comcast.net/sqlitecc.html

Thanks for the advice.

Is there an easy way to change spelling mustakes I have made using the brain editor. Hal6 seems to put words it has learnt in so many different places that it take forever to correct a simple spelling mistake. Will squite be able to do this.

If anyone else has some ideas then i'll be really grateful

Thankyou.....

I've not used it yet in Hal6 but you might try the corrections table.

[echoman]

Yes I call up the table which has the word but there can be many tables and when I have corrected all spellings for that word that I think exist, I find that I have missed one because Hal uses my mis-spelt word again.

Then I have to go searching again......

When Hal learns he seems to put all learnt material in so many different places. This is the impression I get.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

In Hal6 brain,
The 15th table under basic Responses is "Corrections" table.

Jerry,
Looks good, I'll give it a try too.
Thank you.  []

Jerry, this look like just what I needed! Thankyou too!

Only one problem, I am not sure where to put it. I think I understand where to put the small code at the bottom of you post, but where do I put the main bulk of the code?

Maybe I missed somthing.

Thanks.

Just place the bulk of the code just above: 'PROCESS: REVERSE CERTAIN CONTRACTIONS AND OTHER SUBSTITUTIONS

Should be okay.

Hello I have followed the instructions but I cannot seem to get it to work. Below I have copied the instrustions from the posting(s) with a copy of the code actually  in place.
I cannot see what I have done wrong.
I hope someone can help. I am not into programming so I have probally done somthing obvious mistake.
Many thanks.
