So here is the deal.
Create a bot on Pandorabots playground.
You should have four tabs: Your botname, Tran, Files, Logs. Click on Files.
Add a new file by clicking the +
On the popup make sure you do not choose AIML but change it to Set or Map.
Set for a list of single values, Map for a list of two values.
Use the Pandorabots screen to manually enter some values.
For Sets just enter a word into the “item” textbox and hit enter. Add a few more entries.
For Maps just enter the name and value.
Hovering over a row displays an X that you can click to delete a row.
Now save and then download files. You download all of them as a single zip file.
Extract the zip file.
Then open the file you created in notepad and see how it is formatted.
Edit this file with the data you would like and format the entries with the square brackets and quotes.
My daysofweek set looks like this:
[["Friday"], ["Monday"], ["Saturday"], ["Sunday"], ["Thursday"], ["Tuesday"], ["Wednesday"]]
Notice the extra [ in the front and the extra ] at the end.
My daysofweek map looks like this:
[["friday", "5"], ["monday", "1"], ["saturday", "6"], ["sunday", "7"], ["thursday", "4"], ["tuesday", "2"], ["wednesday", "3"]]
sets must have a .set extension
maps must have a .map extension
You cannot use a .txt extension
Now go back to Pandorabots playground.
Make sure you have a backup of all of your files.
Look to see if the file you want to upload already exists in your bot. If it does delete it by selecting it and clicking the trashcan icon.
Click the upload icon next to the + button.
Click add files. Browse for the file you want to upload.
After choosing the file the filename should appear on the popup with no errors.
Click Start Upload. It should take 2 seconds and then show a “Done” button.
If it takes longer or is stuck then try using Chrome instead of IE or some other browser. Chrome works for me. IE does not.
Browse to select the file. Do not try to drag and drop the file onto the screen.
If it still does not work try creating the file manually first in Pandorabots and download and edit it. Then delete it from Pandorabots and try uploading it again.
Good luck!
