Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Can HAL present multiple choice?

« on: October 14, 2006, 08:15:15 pm »

Is it possible to get hal to present the user with multiple choices?
As in a quiz or provide links to multiple web sites whereby the user can then choose. Or even display a link to a website instead of automatically taking you there. As you may ask a question & just want the info.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks guys & girls

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Documentation and some help please

« on: October 14, 2006, 09:52:50 am »

Firstly is there any current documentation for Ultra Hal 6?

Secondly I have been reading posts for hours on end & maybe I have read too much. I want to add a short script that I found to my brain.

I have tried a good many thing but I just cant get it to work.

Code>
If InStr(1, UserSentence, "open mail", 1) > 0 Then
GetResponse = " Click here to open <A HREF=http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=2>Hotmail</a> or <A HREF=http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us>Yahoomail</a> "
End If

I have edited my brain and put it just before 'REVERSE CERTAIN CONTRACTIONS AND OTHER SUBSTITUTIONS'

but that yeilded no response.
A quick lesson anyone?

Thanks in advance

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Selecting & playing music with HAL

« on: October 12, 2006, 07:33:32 am »

I have search and can find some examples for HAL5 but not HAL6.
Has anyone written any code to ask HAL to play music either at random or via artist. I would prefer Media Player but will consider others.

Thanks

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Currency converter lookup code

« on: October 12, 2006, 06:58:04 am »

Here is my first attempt at writing any code. It is very simple and perhaps the gurus could suggest improvments.

'Search for Keywords if the User wants to convert currency.
'Example:
'User: convert currency 1 aud usd
'HAL: I have found the following conversions. HAL then Loads the converter.

If SearchAmt = "" Then SearchAmt = HalBrain.SearchPattern(OriginalSentence, "CONVERT CURRENCY * * *", 1)
If SearchFrom = "" Then SearchFrom = HalBrain.SearchPattern(OriginalSentence, "CONVERT CURRENCY * * *", 2)
If SearchTo = "" Then SearchTo = HalBrain.SearchPattern(OriginalSentence, "CONVERT CURRENCY * * *", 3)
' Currency Search form the above Currency Keyword.
If SearchAmt <> "" And SearchFrom <> "" And SearchTo <> "" Then
   SearchCurrency = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" & SearchAmt & "+" & SearchFrom & "+In+" & SearchTo & "&btnG=Google+Search"
   HalMenu.HalCommand "<RUNPROG>" & SearchCurrency & "</RUNPROG>"
             GetResponse = "I have found the following Currency Conversion "
                 HalBrain.ReadOnlyMode = True
End If

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Run web address error

« on: October 08, 2006, 08:33:32 am »

I have Ultra Hal V6. If I type "run www.anysite.com"
Hal opens my web browser but remives the periods from the web address giving "wwwanysitecom" which of course doesnt work.

How do I fix this.

Thanks
