Program E bug
by Dr. Rich Wallace

Rate this Message:
I found a bug in Program E and I'm wondering if anyone else has
discovered a workaround. Suppose you create a simple default category: <category> <pattern>*</pattern> <template>Keywords: <star/></template> </category> Assuming there is no other AIML, this category will just echo whatever you type: Client: Hello there Bot: Keywords: Hello there Client: testing one two three Bot: Keywords: testing one two three Now add a second AIML category, <category> <pattern>_ TEST ME *</pattern> <template><srai>TEST ME</srai></template> </category> We get the expected result: Client: xxx test me xxx Bot: Keywords: TEST ME Ok, finally, add one more category: <category> <pattern>TEST * ME</pattern> <template><srai>TEST ME</srai></template> </category> Now it is messed up: Client: test xxx me Bot: ME What happened to the "TEST"? and even the one that worked before is broken: Client: xxx test me xxx Bot: ME If we copy the same AIML test file over to Pandorabots: Client: test xxx me Bot: TEST ME Client: xxx test me xxx Bot: TEST ME Does anyone with Program E experience have a workaround for this problem? _______________________________________________ This is the alicebot-general mailing list Reply to alicebot-general@...

Rich, thanks for reporting this bug. When I looked into the archives I
couldn't find a similar mentioning. Although I don't have a solution - yet. It's been confirmed on both PHP 4 and 5. When I looked into the code it appears to be working normally, but I do have a suspicion that the code for the processing of trees including an underscore might not work as intended since the call for storing a variable requires a parameter for addition instead of new creation. How and why I still need to figure out. To be continued. Anne. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: alicebot-general-bounces@...

I am working with a developer who knows PHP well but not too much
AIML. I know AIML but not much PHP. He found something in the code that apparently fixes the bug, at least in the tests we have done. I don't know if anyone is officially maintaining Program E at the moment, but anyone working with the code may be able to check this solution. By the way, we are using version 0.8 of Program E. Here is what he said: Dr. Wallace, this is piece of code which was changed by me. The only line I added is highlighted below. (the highlighted line is " $inputstarvals=array();") This code is executed when no match is found by the "graphwalker". While graphwalker seeks for matches it would add any words matched by "*" asterisk to $inputstarvals (which is a keyword holder) for further references but when it comes to the end and has no matches it should clear $inputstarvals reference and return back to the root of the tree. // Else no match found... if ((($whichresult[0]==-1)&&($whichresult[1]==-1)&&($whichresult[2]==-1))||($continuenode==1)) { //If we were most recently on a wildcard (*,_) then we are still matching it. if (($onwild==1)&&($word!="")&&($word!="<that>")&&($word!="<topic>")){ debugger("On wild and in *. keep going with graphwalker.",2); addtostar($parton,$word,$inputstarvals,$thatstarvals,$topicstarvals,2); return graphwalker($remains,$parent,1,1,$parton,$inputstarvals,$thatstarvals,$topicstarvals,$patternmatched); } else { //We didn't find anything. We need to come back out $inputstarvals=array(); debugger("Result is blank from query in *. Returning blank",2); return ""; } } On Sat, May 17, 2008 at 5:17 PM, A.

Hi Rich,
I tested it and seems to return right values for <star/>. It works now like in Pandorabots: Client: test xxx me Bot: TEST ME Client: xxx test me xxx Bot: TEST ME With the categories you mentioned for testing.
