Shift the case of the search string to upper or lower case. Reduce the string to tokens. Either use SELECT/CASE to search a keyword list, or load your keywords into an array from a file and search the array via a loop.

First... Think of and write down every possible thing that the user might say to the program, then write down what the computer would say back...

Then, using the Select Case Command, tell the computer to reply with certain sentances based on keywords or phrases that the user types in...

A project like this would take a long time to program... If you are new to DarkBASIC i'd recommend starting out with a simple pong game... There is a great tutorial "stickied" to the top of the posts called "My First Pong Game".

...Well...I hope I helped...

this would be what is called a "expert system" in the land of AI(at least i think so )...it doesn't actually understand what it's being told it just has a bunch of preprogrammed info that it responds with

If you can't figure out what I said, you're probably not ready to tackle the task. Here are many flavors of Eliza. Choose one and translate to DB.

That's twice you have used 'sum1'. Perhaps you do not know the difference between a chat room and a forum? Exercise your brain.

Do you know how to make an array?
Do you know how to populate that array with keywords?
Do you know how to get user input?
Do you know how to walk thought a string of text and extract words?
Do you know how to use a for/next loop to search for matches?
Do you know how to print replies based on those matches?

This is not rocket science and this is very much QBasic level programming. You don't need the codez. You just need to read the manual/help files and apply what you have learned.
