I tried to build a chatbot in AIML. I downloaded the codes from http://nlp-addiction.com/chatbot/mathbot/ but couldn't get the idea about how to run the program. Please help me.
An AIML file isn't program code, it's a data file (much like any other xml file).
You need to use an interpreter like Program-AB to load and use the file to answer queries.
If you just want to test the contents and formatting of the aiml file, you could use Pandorabots and load the file into a blank bot fairly easily.
Yes, AIML file isn't program code. It's just like a data format. You can learn about it more from here : http://www.alicebot.org/aiml.html
AIML is a data encoding format that tells the bot when to do what to do. Many interpreters can be used to interpret the aiml tags.
One of them is PyAIML which is python based interpreter fairly simple to use.

I've written a code in python that opens and reads a file that is saved as an .hdf5 format. If I don't have an hdf viewer installed on my computer can this code still run?
I'm not using it to open the file so I can look at it, I'm trying read the file & extract data before manipulating it in python. Probably a silly question but I'm very new to this coding thing. Would my code be unable to open a file type that can not be opened on my computer?
Cheers,
Claire
An hdf5 viewer is a program that knows how to interpret the contents of an hdf5 file — much like the program you are trying to write. So your program would at least need to include code (most likely in the form of a module) that knows how to do that.
I'm not very familiar with hdf5. But I think you couldn't manipulate it directly if the file is binary since it's not human readable and you could use something like viewer to "decode" those binary data.
According to this though, I think the answer is you don't have to have the hdf5 viewer to run your code.
So the python code has h5py but the code itself does not need the computer I'm working on to have the hdfviewer software.
It is still capable of running the code without opening the file with the hdfviewer.
I am trying to make a chatbot android application. Please tell me how can I convert my .aiml file to .aiml.csv
If you want to know the process, you may go through Google's Program-AB and understand how it processes all tags. Also, it is build in Java so you can copy these classes to your application.

I am a beginner in visual studio and has only code C and C++ in command line settings.
Currently, I am taking a module(software development) which requires me to come up with an expense tracker - a program which helps user tracks his/her daily expenses. Therefore, at the end of each individual day, or after a user uses finishes the program, we would have to perform data storage to store all the info in one place which we would export it during the next usage.
My constraint include not using any relational database(although i have no idea what it is :( ). Data storage must be done using XML or text files. Following this, I have several questions regarding data storage:
1) If data is stored successfully, do we export it everytime we start the program? And everytime after the user closes the program, we overwrite the existing data file and then store it accordingly?
2) I have heard from some people that using text file may be easier. Searching on the internet and library only provides me with information regarding XML and not text. Would anyone be able to help me with it? Like tutorials link and stuff?
Thank you very much!
File writing/handling works similar to every other buffer in c++.
you can enable file handling using the fstream header. You can create a file, write to it and over-write every time the program is run, or can even create a file the first time the program is run and then append to it every subsequent time the program runs.
Ive only ever done text files, never tried XML, but Im guessing they're similar.
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/ should give you everything you need to know.
Your choice of XML vs plain text depends on the kind of data that you'll be storing.
The reason why you'll only find XML libraries on the internet is because XML is a lot more complicated than plain text. If you don't know what XML is or if the data that you're storing isn't very complex, then I would suggest going with plain text.
For example, to track expenses, you might store a file like this:
sandwich 5.00
coffee 2.30
soft drink 1.50
...
It's very easy to read/write lines like this to/from a file in C++.
I can easily do this with JQuery or PHP but I have a project for my Intro to C++ class and I thought it'll be pretty cool if I could mix C++ with some APIs like twitter, google, yahoo etc.
Could you tell me if there is a class ( I know OOP ) I can use to read an external XML or JSON file. The program has to run on windows and linux so I can't use commands.
Or, if this can't be done, what other cool project would you do? Thanks in advance.

I want to convert all the .odt .doc .xls .pdf files to .txt files.
I want to convert these files to text files using a shell script or a perl script
There's a program for odt files and alikes:
odt2txt - avaliable in repos.
$ unoconv --format=txt document1.odt
Should produce document1.txt.
OpenOffice has a built-in document converter capable of handling a bunch of formats- take a look at unoconv: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
That being said, I have had some troubles getting that to work in the past- If you're having trouble, take a look at similar programs for AbiWord (another open source word processor).
For word documents, you can try antiword, at least on linux. It's a command line utility that takes a word document as an argument, and spits out the text from that document (as best as it can figure) to Standard Output. Maybe you can specify an ouput file too. I can't remember the details of how it works. I haven't used it in a while. Not sure if it can handle OO documents.
It's certainly possible to do this, though there is something strange and impenetrable about the OO project and its documentation that makes things like this hard to research and follow. However, OO has the capability to convert all of those types, not just the OO native ones, and it can do it via two different forms of automatic control.
These are the two general approaches.
You can start OO and tell it to execute a macro which does this job for you for a given file. You then just have to write the macro and a script to loop over your files. The syntax is something like
$ oowriter -headless filename macro://dir/Standard.Module1.sMySub
The other thing OO has is a network API. This is based on something called UNO.
$ oowriter -accept=accept-string
Notifies the OpenOffice.org software that upon the creation of
"UNO Acceptor Threads", a "UNO Accept String" will be used.
You will need some sort of client library. I think they have one for Python at least. Using this technology a Python program or some other scripting language with an OO client library could drive the program and convert all the files. Since OO reads MSO, it should be able to do all of them.
Open the file in LibreOffice. Click on "File", "Save-as" scroll down to find the text option. Click that and it will be saved as a text file.
FYI, I had an *.ODT file that was 339.2 KB in size. When I save-as text the size of the file shrunk to ONLY 5.0 KB. Another reason for saving your files as text files.
For the Microsoft formats, look into the wvWare tools.
Open .ods file normally in libre office
Highlight text to be converted
Open a terminal
Run vi
Press "i" to get insert mode
Press ctrl-shift-v
Done!
Need some formatting?
Save the file as
Get out of vi
Run:
$cat | column >filename2
This worked in opensuse running KDE
Substitute "kwrite" for "vi", if you want
