Hi,

Why won’t this pattern :

s: (<< you mean >>)

match the input:

> No, you mean something.

?

:prepare tells me the actual input used is “you mean” which should be good, no?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi,

Actually, :prepare doesn’t really say that. It says your input is split into two sentences
~no
you mean something

because the system defaults to splitting off interjections into their own sentence, making:
No. You mean something. 
and
No, you mean something

be exactly the same thing.

And Harry comes with only handling one sentence so it responds to the ~no and wont care about what follows.

You can 1.  change token flags NOT to split off interjectsion
        2.  alter the control script to handle multiple inputs
        3.  alter your script to handle interjections and follow ups like:

s: (~no %more) next(INPUT) refine()
  a: (!? << you mean >>)  for example.

Oh, thanks! I couldn’t make sense of the two parts in :prepare.
