How to output the ~placenumber value of a number?
  
 
Posted: May 26, 2012

Hi,

If I have a number (say 3) how would I get chatscript to print out its’ ~placenumber?
My chatbot askes the user for a number and then needs to loop from 1 until the user specified number, printing out the ~placenumber of each iteration.
So if the user says 3, I would like the chatbot to print out “First, Second, Third”.

Any idea how to do that?

Thank you,
Pavel

Depends on how far you expect to go. Sounds like really small. So just build a table:
table: place(^number ^name)
createfact(^number place ^name)
DATA:
1 first
2 second
3 third
4 fourth
etc.

then query(direct_sv $$numval place ? )  @0object
