how do I delete a predicate?

How do I delete a predicate (versus setting it blank?)

I tried the following

<set><name>my_predicate</name></set> 

This only resulted in it being blank.

I would guess the <name> tag is a readonly since its calling from the bots personal data.

Does <set_name name=“my_predicate”></set_name> work?

You can only blank it out and not delete it. Your code should check for blank values.
This code will blank it out.


<set name=“variable”></set>

If you insist on deleting them, the only other way is to wait 40 minutes, as the server will do this for you after a period of inactivity.

Hi and welcome, Joshua! smile

To answer your question, that depends on which chatbot engine you’re using. I don’t know if Pandorabots still supports the older AIML tags, but Program O does not, so <set_name> does not work. As for other AIML interpreters, I haven’t the foggiest of notions. downer

I don’t think <set_name> works on Pandorabots any more either. It’s just “set” now.
