Command Line Script

Command line interface to work with pyaiml21 - AIML 2.1 compatible interpreter. The running program represents a single chatbot that can chat with multiple users (see options).

The structure of the bot, or the file extensions are as follows:

• to load the bot, pass in the bot directory with all files

• .aiml files should be stored in /aiml/.aiml, or /.aiml

• .aimlif in /aimlif/.aimlif or /aimlif/.csv or /*.aimlif

• maps in /maps/* or /*.map

• sets in /sets/* or /*.set

• properties in /properties.* or in /config/propert*

• substitutions in /.substitution or /substitutions/* or config/.substitution

The order of loading the files is the same as above.

usage: aiml [-h] [-i | -d | --validate] [--bot [folder]] [--aiml [file ...]]
            [--aimlif [file ...]] [--substitutions [file ...]]
            [--properties [file ...]] [--maps [file ...]] [--sets [file ...]]
