Two stars getting combined into one???

[codger4110]

I'm having trouble making sense of the AIML recursion.  Is this AIML wrong?


        <category>
                <pattern>SWAPPROPERTY * *</pattern>
                <template>
                        <set name="first"><star/></set>
                        <set name="second"><star index="2"/></set>
                        <myprocessor action="swap"/>
                </template>
        </category>
        <category><pattern>SWAP * FOR *</pattern><template><srai>SWAPPROPERTY <star index="2"/> <star/></srai></template></category>
        <category><pattern>REVERSE ORDER OF * AND *</pattern><template><srai>SWAPPROPERTY <star index="2"/> <star/></srai></template></category>


Here is the output, showing some debugging information.  Note how the two stars,
"first" and "second", end up being concatenated into a single
string, "firstsecond".  And then the second star ends up blank.


[YourBot] JUDGE> swap first for second
Multiplexor: responding to [swap first for second] for nbl SampleBot....
Multiplexor.getReply: responding to [swap first for second] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond
for nbl SampleBot....
Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [swap first for second] on topic SWAPPROPERTY
firstsecond....
stars found:  [first, second]
Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond....
stars found:  [SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond]
Multiplexor.getMatchResult: responding to [RANDOM PICKUP LINE] on topic SWAPPROPERTY firstsecond....


So, my question is, why do the two stars turn into one concatenated star?  Is my AIML broken, or is this a bug?


Thanks,
Rascal

This probably has to do with whitespace handling, not the two turning
into a single star, though I'm not sure I follow what you're showing
with the output there.  What version of the code are you using, by the way?
