Hello !
I’m getting a weird behavior with the rejoinder pattern matching as you can see in the following debug trace. The try here is to catch the second sentence if the first failed before.

testuser: > yes, good

bot:  Woot!

The engine is splitting correctly the INPUT and I’m getting the second part where I would like to match my rejoinder :

..  Wildcards: _0=good / good (1-1)

Then, the engine is trying the rejoinders…

try rejoinder for: ~mycoin 0.1
....,....,try a:0.1 @0:      pattern: ( ~goodness )
....,....,( ~goodness-      Remaining pattern: )
....,....,try a:0.2 @0:      pattern: ( [ ~badness ~negativeemotions ] )
....,....,(
....,....,[ ~badness- ~negativeemotions- ]-
....,....,      Remaining pattern: )
....,....,try a:0.3 @0:      pattern: ( )
....,....,( )+
....,....,  **  Match: a:  ( ) Woot! \n ^cleandataandbacktointro ( )

So, good not matched ~goodness. :testpattern works.

Do you know why my rejoinder is not working please ?
Thank you for your help ^_^

After some debugs, I can see that my control script is trying the second sentence, but is trying the first one in rejoinders.

Here is the sentence in input :

yes, I’m good

Here is the result of trace pattern :

..( _* )+

....,....,  **  Match: a:  ( ^setwildcardindex ( _7 ) _* ) Woot _7 ! \n ^cleandataandbacktointro ( )
....,....,  Wildcards: _0=I am good / I be good (1-3)  _1=65535 / 65535 (0-0)  _2=65535 / 65535 (0-0)  _3=null (0-0)  _4=null (0-0)  _5=null (0-0)  _6=null (0-0)  _7=~yes / ~yes (1-1)

So, I’m suspecting that I’m not sending correctly the second sentence in my Constrol Script.

It seems that the new manual could be useful on this topic : https://github.com/chatscriptnlp/ChatScriptNLP/blob/master/WIKI/Practicum-rejoinders.md#rejoinders-and-control-scripts

Now, I’m trying to figure out how to implement this useful explanation.
Thank you for this new document.

Okay ! I got this work now !

In your preprocessing topic, you have just to add this

And, you engine got ~yes and there is another sentence in the stack, then, it puts the next one and try the rejoinder. If no output fires, it will process the rest of the sentence.

It seems to work. I need to do more regress tests. But if you think that it’s a wrong manner to do, feel to free to share
Thank you!
