Chat BOT Sample

ok, as some of you know i am working on a chat bot. Problem is i am a visual learner in some cases, and i am so stuck on the string comparing and such i am going to do something i don't normally do because i don't like to. I am asking for anyone who has made a chat bot based on two text files for answers/keywords to supply me, if willing, with the source code so i can study it.

No code will be used or claimed as my own, its to aid me to learn the concepts of different methods, thank you to all who took the time to read this.

Try this:

i want to stay with c++.

You like spam? hmmm taste good!

>i want to stay with c++

You're missing my point. AIML is a way of cribbing statments with responses. In the same way you wouldn't write a browser application with HTML, you would still use C++ to write your chatbot application.

If you don't want to use AIML at all, OK. But it still may be worth taking a look. I believe, there is a lot free AIML data (kind of knowledge moduls) out there, covering all sorts of converstaion topics.

I thought this is what you wanted. You take the AIML files, and extract the data & put it into any format you chose. But it's just an idea after all.

What exactly do you need done? If you explain it in more detail I (or someone else) may be able to whip some code up for you

Sorry for my ignorance davros:

what i need is a program that takes two text files, reads them in, takes a string from the user, searches the first text file for a match between whats in the file and a word(s) in the user input.

It then responds accordingly based on the second file.

Say you have in file one

1 Hello
2 How Are

and in file two:

1 Hello there
2 I'm fine thanks!

The user enters:

Hello

so the output is

Hello there.

Ok so basically you need to search a file for a certain string, get its index number (be it 1, 2, 3 etc) and search another file for responses with that index?

You'll need to come up with a file format, say:

Quote:

%1%3

Hello;
Good Day;
Hi;

%2%4

Good;
Great;
Grand;
Splendid;

First number is its index, second is the number of entries. Apon reading the number of entries you could generate a random number, and choose that response.

Look into strtok for breaking up the users input. So basically:

Code:

Get user input. Open the responses file. Loop for each word in the users input { Read in each word in the file if any of them match the word we're currently checking { push the index number onto a vector } } while we're not at the last vector element { Keep a counter of how many instances found for each number } Find the index number we isolated in the responses file read the number of entries for that index Generate a random number between 1 and the number while we're not on the correct response { read another response } Display it.

that rlly helps to see someone elses algorithm, ok for loopingfor every word in input i would use a forloop w/ constant, ie

const string Words_Entered = strlen(input);

for ( ; Words_entered > 0; --Words_Entered)
{
}

Just threw that in don't know if its accurate

I'm back

I must really love you...
This probably won't work, but I needed to kill some time before hockey :) It should give you an idea of how my algorithm would work.

PHP Code:

#include <string> #include <cstdlib> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> struct rhead { int index; int entries; }; // ... GetAStringFromTheUser(pszInput); // ... srand(time(NULL)); std::ifstream fResponses("responses.dat", ios::in); int indicies[256]; // Holds the instances of each index number for which a matching string/response entered memset(reinterpret_cast<void *>(indicies), 0, sizeof(indicies)); // Set it to 0 rhead response; // Holds information about the response strings char *pToken = std::strtok(pszInput, " "); while (pToken != NULL) { char pszBuffer[128]; while (fResponses.eof() == 0) { fResponses.getline(pszBuffer, 127, ';'); // Read up to a semicolon if (strchr(pszBuffer, '%')) // If this isn't a response { response.index = atoi(pszBuffer[1]); // Current index eg %2%3; response.entries = atoi(pszBuffer[3]); // Entries, see above } else { if (std::strncmp(pInputToken, pszBuffer) == 0) // if the current word matches the one in the file { indicies[response.index]++; // Increment our instance count for the current index } } } pToken = std::strtok(pszInput, NULL); // Get a new word fResponses.seekg(0, std::ios::beg); // Back to the start } int largestIndexVal = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) // Find the largest instance count for our indicies { if (indicies[i] > largestIndexVal) { response.index = i; largestIndexVal = indicies[i]; } }; fResponses.seekg(0, std::ios::beg); // Back to the start while (fResponses.eof() == 0) { fResponses.getline(pszBuffer, 127, ';'); if (strchr(pszBuffer, '%')) // If this is a response header { if (atoi(pszBuffer[1]) == response.index) // if the best fit index is equal to the one we just extracted { response.entries = atoi(pszBuffer[3]); // Same as above break; } } } if (fResponses.eof()) // Ahh! We couldn't find the index! { SomethingHasGoneTerriblyWrong(); EndTheProgramOrAlertTheUser(); } else { int randomResponse = (1 + (rand() % response.entries)); // Generate a random number while (randomResponse--) { fResponses.getline(pszBuffer, 127, ';'); // read randomReponse times } DisplayTheStringOrDoSomethingElseWithIt(pszBuffer); // Uhh, yeah the php tags messed the end up a little bit, we should have a closing bracket here... };

easy on the "L" word there, dude :P

Thnx i'll look this over tonight :)

It says theres an error, but not WHAT error.....odd...

Code:

alright i got a lot of different problems than what you got ride or die...

ooopss didnt notice it at first but there is no .h's on any of the includes

now i only get one error

fatal error; cannot open include file cstdlib.h

>> ooopss didnt notice it at first but there is no .h's on any of the includes

That was deliberate.

actually no it wasnt, i didnt realize it untill i started checking out some of the errors.

Yes, it was deliberate.
I didn't run that code through a compiler, I simply typed it up in notepad... so there's bound to be some trivial syntax errors.

first of all, how can you tell me that anything i do or do not do is deliberate.

i didnt type it up i just coppied and pasted into my compiler and compiled it and i didnt realize there were no .h's untill later when i started looking through the errors.

... Because I typed up the code and didn't "put any .h's on the includes"
The code OBVIOUSLY won't compile. a) There's no main function b) There's unresolved variables and functions c) I made a few errors throughout. This is an EXAMPLE, not an entire solution.

they mean its diliberate in the sense that the original sample has no .h's so it has nothing to do with you, it was deliberate.

I didn't rlly expect it to compile, just odd how it gives me an error with no error msg.
