CLIPS Is there a function similar to contains in C#? - string-matching

Hi i m writing a program that will simulate the propositional laws. I would like to ensure that certain characters are not contained within my variables. Is there a easy function to do this.
I currently have it working if my variable is only a single character but would like to make it work with a multi-slot variable.
(deftemplate sentence (multislot sent))
(defrule read-from-user
=>
(bind ?response "")
(printout t "Please enter a sentence: Use ~ for not and => for implies, or(v) and and(^) please. For predicates use { and } Example exists{richard}" crlf)
(bind ?response (explode$ (readline)))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "(" (sym-cat "(")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response ")" (sym-cat ")")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "~" (sym-cat "~")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "v" (sym-cat "v")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "=>" (sym-cat "=>")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "^" (sym-cat "^")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "[" (sym-cat "[")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "]" (sym-cat "]")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "{" (sym-cat "{")))
(bind ?response (replace-member$ ?response "}" (sym-cat "}")))
(assert (sentence (sent ?response))))
(defrule negative
(sentence (sent $?before "~" "(" "~" ?symbol ")" $?after))
(test (neq ?symbol "~" "(" ")" "=" "^" "v"))
=>
(assert (sentence (sent $?before $?symbol $?after))))
This piece of code works for single characters but i know what to make the
?Symbol into $?symbol and still check that none of the character (,),~,= etc are in ?$symbol.
So if there is any similar function to compare in C# that i can use her? thx guys

Use the str-index function to determine if a sequence of characters is contained within a string:

CLIPS> (str-index "^" "abc")
FALSE
CLIPS> (str-index "^" "ab^c")

asserting string in clips

I am trying to assert the value of name into a variable but when i assert it the value is coming in quotes and also with an extra space at the end.
(defrule discount_amt_group
(exists (Student (age 14)(marks ?q&:(> ?q 40))))
=>
(bind ?name "")
(do-for-all-facts ((?p Student))
(or (eq ?p:marks 80)
(eq ?p:marks 75)
(eq ?p:marks 90))
(bind ?name (str-cat ?name ?p:name " "))
(bind ?totalMarks (+ ?totalMarks ?p:marks)))
(assert (StudOut(names ?name)))
the expected value will be (name Harry Ron Ginger) but now its coming as (name "Harry Ron Ginger ")
please suggest.
Represent the names as a multifield value rather than a string. You can use the create$ function to initially create an empty multifield value and then again to append values to it.

Cant implement function on Bind in CLIPS

This is the code. The slabV10071 function is working fine. But In the rule im getting the error
[PRNTUTIL2] Syntax Error: Check appropriate syntax for bind function.

Please help.
The error message shows you the position in your rule where the error is occurring:
ERROR:

This is the line of code causing the error:
(bind (str-cat ?quantitybuilder ?p:quantity " " ))
You're not providing a variable to which the function call will be bound. This is probably what you want:

storing values in clips into variable

I am having a template of
(deftemplate Product
(slot productId (type INTEGER))
(slot uom (default EA))
(slot quantity (type INTEGER))
(slot amount))
I'm using the code for
(defrule sum_of_quantity
(exists (Product (productId 1 | 2 | 3)(amount ?amount)))
=>
(bind ?totalQuantity 0)
(do-for-all-facts ((?p Product))
(or (eq ?p:productNumber 1)
(eq ?p:productNumber 2)
(eq ?p:productNumber 3))
(bind ?totalQuantity (+ ?totalQuantity ?p:quantity)))
(if (>= ?amount 5000) then
(printout t "TotalQuantity is " ?totalQuantity crlf)))
Here i am getting an error saying that:
Undefined variable amount referenced in RHS of defrule.
I have to check if the amount of each product is greater than 5000. How do we do that.
A simple fact pattern that can be matched by several different facts can cause multiple activations of a rule:
CLIPS>
(deftemplate product
(slot id)
(slot amount))
CLIPS>
(deffacts products
(product (id 1) (amount 1000))
(product (id 2) (amount 3000))
(product (id 3) (amount 6000)))
CLIPS>
(defrule print-amount
(product (id ?id) (amount ?amount))
=>
(printout t ?id ": " ?amount crlf))
CLIPS> (reset)
CLIPS> (agenda)
0 print-amount: f-3
0 print-amount: f-2
0 print-amount: f-1
For a total of 3 activations.
CLIPS> (run)
3: 6000
2: 3000
1: 1000
CLIPS>
When each activation is allowed to executed, the variable amount is retrieved from the product fact associated with activation. So there are three rule firings where amount is 6000, 3000, and 1000 respectively.
An exists conditional element is matched just once regardless of the number of time the fact patterns it contains are matched:
CLIPS>
(defrule exists
(exists (product (id ?id) (amount ?amount)))
=>)
CLIPS> (agenda)
0 exists: *
For a total of 1 activation.
CLIPS>
When the agenda is listed, an * is displayed indicating that the pattern is matched, but not by a specific fact. If you tried accessing the variable amount in the actions of the rule, you'd get an error. This is because the variable amount has no meaning outside of the pattern because it has no specific value. You'd get unpredictable behavior if one of the facts matching the fact pattern was arbitrarily chosen to provide the value for amount.
The simplest way to rewrite your rule is to move the amount check from the actions of the rule to the exists pattern:
(defrule sum_of_quantity
(exists (Product (productId 1 | 2 | 3)
(amount ?amount&:(>= ?amount 5000))))
=>
(bind ?totalQuantity 0)
(do-for-all-facts ((?p Product))
(or (eq ?p:productId 1)
(eq ?p:productId 2)
(eq ?p:productId 3))
(bind ?totalQuantity (+ ?totalQuantity ?p:quantity)))
(printout t "TotalQuantity is " ?totalQuantity crlf))
Your do-for-all-facts query was also referencing productNumber rather than productId.

Clips passing a multivalued variable to a deffunction

I am currently writing a program that will simulate the propositional laws. I have received a function my-test to determine whether certain characters are in a string and i works fine if i pass only a single slot variable but it won#t accept a multislot/multi value variable.
I have go the code working i f a pass for example ?sigle but if I try and pass $?symbol to the program it says that it is epecting a string or symbol.

This is the error i receive when i run the program i have a feeling that i need to do a conversio but am not quite sure what exctly needs to be done. Thx for the help
If you're passing multiple symbols to the my-test function to test, you need to iterate over them using the foreach function.

Recursive call to a rule

I have this rule that fires thousands of other same rule:
(defrule calculate-temperature
?zone <- (object (is-a ZONE) (id ?id-zone) (dew-temperature ?dew-temperature) (delta-R ?delta-R))
(process-action (is cooling))
=>
(bind ?supply-temperature (+ ?delta-R ?dew-temperature))
(modify-instance ?zone (supply-temperature ?supply-temperature))
(printout ?*debug-print* "supply-temperature:", ?supply-temperature crlf))
What I want to do is to modify my zone's supply-temperature when I can calculate it, i.e. when inside zone are defined delta-R and dew-temperature.
But the modification of the object keeps on firing in a recursice neverendless cycle.
What are best practices to avoid these annoying loops, please?
Thank you
Nicola
By itself this rule doesn't loop:
CLIPS> (clear)
CLIPS>
(defclass ZONE
(is-a USER)
(slot id)
(slot dew-temperature)
(slot supply-temperature)
(slot delta-R))
CLIPS>
(definstances start-instances
(z1 of ZONE (id 1) (dew-temperature 100) (delta-R 10)))
CLIPS>
(deftemplate process-action
(slot is))
CLIPS>
(deffacts start-facts
(process-action (is cooling)))
CLIPS> (defglobal ?*debug-print* = nil)
CLIPS>
(defrule calculate-temperature
?zone <- (object (is-a ZONE)
(id ?id-zone)
(dew-temperature ?dew-temperature)
(delta-R ?delta-R))
(process-action (is cooling))
=>
(bind ?supply-temperature (+ ?delta-R ?dew-temperature))
(modify-instance ?zone (supply-temperature ?supply-temperature))
(printout ?*debug-print* "supply-temperature:", ?supply-temperature crlf))
CLIPS> (watch slots)
CLIPS> (reset)
::= local slot id in instance z1 <- 1
::= local slot dew-temperature in instance z1 <- 100
::= local slot delta-R in instance z1 <- 10
::= local slot supply-temperature in instance z1 <- nil
CLIPS> (run)
::= local slot supply-temperature in instance z1 <- 110
CLIPS>
So it's the interactions between your rules that are causing the loop.
There are three general techniques to prevent rule looping. First, you can remove one of the facts/instances matching the conditions of the rule. For example, the process-action fact:
(defrule calculate-temperature
?zone <- (object (is-a ZONE)
(id ?id-zone)
(dew-temperature ?dew-temperature)
(delta-R ?delta-R))
?p <- (process-action (is cooling))
=>
(retract ?p)
(bind ?supply-temperature (+ ?delta-R ?dew-temperature))
(modify-instance ?zone (supply-temperature ?supply-temperature))
(printout ?*debug-print* "supply-temperature:", ?supply-temperature crlf))
Second, you can modify a fact/instance slot value to prevent a pattern from matching. For example, delta-R:
(defrule calculate-temperature
?zone <- (object (is-a ZONE)
(id ?id-zone)
(dew-temperature ?dew-temperature)
(delta-R ?delta-R&~0))
(process-action (is cooling))
=>
(bind ?supply-temperature (+ ?delta-R ?dew-temperature))
(modify-instance ?zone (supply-temperature ?supply-temperature) (delta-R 0))
(printout ?*debug-print* "supply-temperature:", ?supply-temperature crlf))
Third (and this is only applicable for object pattern matching), rules are only triggered by changes to slots that are explicitly matched in the conditions of the rules. So if you want changes to delta-R to trigger the rule, but not changes to dew-temperature, you'd write the rule like this:
(defrule calculate-temperature
?zone <- (object (is-a ZONE)
(id ?id-zone)
(delta-R ?delta-R))
(process-action (is cooling))
=>
(bind ?supply-temperature (+ ?delta-R (send ?zone get-dew-temperature)))
(modify-instance ?zone (supply-temperature ?supply-temperature))
(printout ?*debug-print* "supply-temperature:", ?supply-temperature crlf))
