But if you just want to have it read over conversations to get a ton of RiveScript replies out of it, you can do something sorta like that. (to generate any RiveScript code with wildcards or anything intelligent like that would be a lot more work and ya might wonder if ya shouldn't be working for some artificial intelligence company if ya managed to pull it off :P ).<br /><br />The code I posted above would really only work to parse a one-to-one conversation but it wouldn't take context into account... i.e. if the conversation had a lull and the person who sent the last message sends a new one to strike up a new convo, it would be included as part of the response to the last message sent by the other person.<br /><br />I personally just think it's quicker to write the code myself than to try to programmatically parse natural language and then have to skim through it and fix the countless errors it made. &nbsp;::)||||
