RE: Conditionl problem

Hi Ioannis,

This is a bug in AIMLpad when it trys to patch up the whitespace around
tags.  It has been fixed and can be downloaded at www.aimlpad.com or you can
use the workaround to turn off the "Respect whitespace insertion around XML
tags" option.  It actually appended a space to the end of the star's value
so it would not match to the peron's name.  Sorry for your inconvience.  No,
the AIML you have is fine.

Thanks for putting up with me,
  - Gary Dubuque, adapting to all forms of AIML (I hope)

Hi all,

I still do not get what I am doing wrong! Although the dialogue proceeds
till the second category ("Nice to meet you..") when I say to the bot "I
blond" it refuses to answer correctly based on the gender of the user (e.g.
You sound very attractive for female names). Any ideas why? Please help!!! I
am using the AIMLPad
