user name resonse in plug in. what's correct?

[lightspeed]

I am wondering if anyone knows for sure the correct way to get the user name response to work correctly within a sentence in a plug in response .
example

Randomize
Select Case int(rnd()*
Case 1
GetResponse = "It's a nice day<user name> isn't it? "
Case 2
GetResponse = "   "
Case 3
GetResponse = "   "
Case 4
GetResponse = "   "
Case 5
GetResponse = "   "
Case 6
GetResponse = "   "
Case 7
GetResponse = "   "
Case 8
GetResponse = "   "
End Select
HalBrain.ReadOnlyMode = False
End If


would this be correct to get hal to say my user name in a response back in a plug in or is is all one word    >username<   
or will this work that way at all?

Hi Lightspeed.

Hal has a table called hello1 that does the same thing as what you're trying to do.

but if you want to practice your code then

Code: [Select]


Randomize
Select Case int(rnd()*2
Case 1
GetResponse = "It's a nice day " & username & " isn't it? "
Case 2
GetResponse = "   "

End Select


if you want to put it in a table then you can use the <username> tag within the sentence or statement.

And don't forget the second parenthesis.
