Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Importing into Brain Editor

« on: September 13, 2008, 10:07:45 am »

I am new to Hal 6.1 and I've been experimenting with the Brain Editor...I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the proper format for importing Q&A from a text file for Hal to repeat back to you verbatim. Each time I do it I have to edit each Q&A manually in the wizard and it will take forever for large amounts of data.

For example, if I want to imort a text file full of facts on the topic of Computers one may be:

Q: What is Windows?
A: A overpriced operating system spearheaded by Bill Gates.

No matter how I change it around Hal still groups them as the following in the wizard:

Q:What is Windows? A overpriced operating system spearheaded by Bill Gates.
A:What is Windows? A overpriced operating system spearheaded by Bill Gates.

Obviously, what I want is to just be able to say...

User: Hal, what is Windows?
HAL: An overpriced operating system spearheaded by Bill Gates.

I'm probably missing something very simple, but have had no luck and I've only been able to find the manual for version 5.0

P.S. My "input question and answer pairs" in Hal 6.1 doesn't respond when I click it. Does anyone else have this problem?

I am currently working on some major additions to learn from clipboard.

HAL will have these new features when I am done with my project.

example:

User: HAL, study up on science please.
HAL: User, I have loaded Wikipedia and I have currently studied about science from this location, thank you, I will now close Wikipedia.

this is what will happen:

HAL will load Wikipedia(search for science) on the internet then HAL will copy that information to the clipboard automatically then HAL will begin to format and parse out all the information from the clip board to be saved to the LearnedText.brn as sentences, phrases, paragraphs to be used in a future response.

I will try to complete this project as soon as possible.

Hi Jerry,

I'm wondering if you were ever able to accomplish this with Wikipedia. It's exactly something I had in mind.
