- Hello, welcome to video number 7,629 about Mastadon bots.

And I started from nowhere and I have arrived

It's called codingtrainbot, and what this bot does,

if you follow the bot, it says, welcome aboard.

And if you toot at the bot and use a certain keyword,

So, I want to be able to respond to a question.

So, let's just say, I'm going to look for any post

This is going to be tricky cause there's the html tags in it.

I'm just going to look for a question mark,

I'm just going to look for a question mark.

So I want to look for a question mark, if

this is like the very basics of making a chatbot,

which is just doing basic pattern matching.

and try to categorize what people are saying

into intense and do all sorts of text analysis,

but at a core level, you could just use regular expressions

And if you, I do have a set of videos about Rivescript,

a number of programming languages, but you can use it

in Javascript, to build your own chatbot.

what do you want your bot to actually do,

but in this case, I'm just going to use regular expressions.

So let me just actually make sure this works.

So I think I'm going to not always console.log

the content anymore, I know that's working.

Now I want to just look at it, console.log, data,

what was it called that I put it in a variable?

So I'm just going to look at the content.

You know, by the way, if you're doing this on your own,

you're going to want to have a second Mastadon account

I am a weird, crazy person who does this sort

I just assume that the people out in the world watching

with a question mark in them and see if, oh there we go.

Oh, I got a question, that's not what somebody said to me.

And now, what I want to do, is I want to say,

I want to do, I want to create, sorry, a reply.

the meaning of life is, and I'm going to use this,

oh I have this from before by accident, luckily, is num

and then I want to just send that reply, but here's the thing.

So I did that before when somebody followed me,

so if somebody mentions me, where do I get the account?

So I can actually go back, msg.data.account.

Actually, I think I kind of like always want this,

that account and then say, but here's the thing,

to actually understand it as a threaded reply
