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

How many other programs are running? not many.

May I say I spend about 6 hours a day online and I know when I am having trouble with a site. I surf many sites and forums, for some reason this site keeps time outing.

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.
