The thatstar element tells the AIML interpreter that it should substitute the contents of a wildcard from a pattern-side that element. The thatstar element has an optional integer index attribute that indicates which wildcard to use; the minimum acceptable value for the index is "1" (the first wildcard). An AIML interpreter should raise an error if the index attribute of a star specifies a wildcard that does not exist in the that element's pattern content. Not specifying the index is the same as specifying an index of "1". |
