#ChangeLog v2.6.2.31:

New Functions: [GetAnswer("QuestionByAI","WordListTextFileName","PositiveGrammarColumnNameOrNumber","PositiveResultColumnNameOrNumber","NegativeGrammarColumnNameOrNumber","NegativeResultColumnNameOrNumber","ListeningTimeout","ShowIfItsNegativeOrPositive")] "QuestionByAI" = question asked by AI "WordListTextFileName" = WordList to use for positive and negative grammar and results "PositiveGrammarColumnNameOrNumber" = WordList column name or number of positive grammar "PositiveResultColumnNameOrNumber" = WordList column name or number of results to show if positive grammar is recognized "NegativeGrammarColumnNameOrNumber" = WordList column name or number of negative grammar "NegativeResultColumnNameOrNumber" = WordList column name or number of results to show if negative grammar is recognized "ListeningTimeout" = stops listening for answer after defined milliseconds "ShowIfItsNegativeOrPositive" = show/hide + or - symbol based on recognized data Note: We don’t have to use WordList.

Example: Command: Say a number Response:[GetAnswer("which number?","test_nums.txt","firstAnswer","firstReslult","secondAnswer","secondResult","3000","Show")] Sample word list: firstAnswer firstReslult secondAnswer secondResult one number 1 negative one minus 1 two number 2 negative two minus 2 three number 3 negative three minus 3 four number 4 negative four minus 4 Note: We can use any column for result or answer(grammar) Make sure PositiveGrammar does not contain any words from NegativeGrammar and vice-versa.

Sample positive answer result: One = +number 1

[CallCommandEx("PositiveOrNagativeResponse","PositiveCommand","NegativeCommand")] Positive or Negative command will be called based on PositiveOrNagativeResponse. If PositiveOrNagativeResponse starts with a + sign, PositiveCommand will be called.

Example: Command: Hey LINKS Response: [CallCommandEx("+Hello","{{!Result!}}","{{!Result!}}")] In this case Action will be converted to [CallCommandEx("+Hello","Hello","{{!Result!}}")] [SubString("String","startIndex","endIndex")] Example: Command: Remove first char of the string Response: [SubString("+Test","1","")] This will output "Test"
