Var processing

This block is used to extract different types of data from a variable’s value. The extraction method is similar to the ‘Extract from the speech’ mechanism used in the ‘Recognition’ block.

At the output of the “Var processing” block, two anchors will appear:

1. “Processed.” To continue the scenario when the processing result is successful;
2. “Not Processed.” To continue the scenario when, for some reason, the processing and writing to the variable did not occur.

Number

Extracts integers from a variable and stores them as a number.

For example, if the user says: “I think the number 356 will do”.

The program will extract the number and save it as “356”.

Further additional operations are available:

1. Randomization – creating random values;
2. Increment – increases the value of a variable by one;
3. Decrement – reduces the value of a variable by one;
4. Increase by – increases the value of the variable by the number that will be entered when this operation is selected;
5. Decrease by – decreases the value of the variable.

Sequence of digits

Selects numbers from a variable and stores them as a sequence, which are separated by spaces.

For example, if the subscriber says: “I think one, or better two, or maybe three”,

The result will be written to the variable as: “1 2 3″.
