First you will need to add in your MSN Messenger Passport information.
Start MessengerResponse - goto the menu point: 'Setup', fill in your detalis here.
If MessengerResponse cant find a match in respond.txt it will sendt the standard answer defined in the setup dialog.
The 'respond.txt' file is the essential part in MessengerResponse.
The file controls how MessengerRespond will react when a message is received from a contact via the MSN Messenger network.
Every line in 'respond.txt' is divided into two segments separated by ;
The first segment holds the data about what to find in the received message.
You can use two variables: $seekword or $seek in the first segment
In the second segment you can use the variable $name.
Use for $seekword:
A line in respond.txt could look like this:
$seekword hi;Hello
If the received message contains the word 'hi' or 'Hi' or 'HI' or 'Hi!' or 'Hi?' etc. MessengerResponse will answer with:
Hello
Instructions for
Messenger Response
MessengerResponse ignore '!' and '?' if the characters is in the end of the message.
Use for $seek:
You can use $seek allmost as $seekword, but $seek is used to seek for a string of words eg. a sentence.
You will have to seperate the variable $seek and the sentence with '=' eg:
$seek = What is wrong with this sentese
The whole line i respond.txt could look like this:
$seek = What is wrong with this sentese;You cant spell.. ;-)
Use for $name:
This variable can only be used in the second segment. And it returns the username of the person who sends you the message.
eg. in respond.txt: $seek hi;Hello $name
The respond.txt sould at least contain about 20 lines of responds.
xname.txt:
The file 'xname.txt' should hold as many friends emails and nicknames as possible, to get a more personal touch.
The line consist of two secments. The first holds the contacts email address and the second holds the nickname.
e.g.:'eugene@hotmail.com;Buzz'
When the user 'eugene@hotmail.com' writes 'Hi You!' You MessengerResponse with write back with 'Yo Buzz!'
The MessengerRespond is not to be used as a standalone messenger.
You need to have regular messenger software to maintain contact, sending messages etc.
