Re: Abbrev Date - Formats?

Is there a question here?  What are you trying to say?  I am confused as to what the point of this discussion is.

Re: Abbrev Date - Formats?

According to the Scripting Index Abbrev Date() accepts some <Format> settings. But I don't know how I can use then. Nor does the Learnbot. So I followed the suggestion of the Learnbot and used Format( input, Formatpattern, ...).


On the other hand, if the learnbot doesn't know/find a documentation, how could users know/find it?
This approach could be used to find missing entries in the documentation. If a functionality is mentioned at position A - but not described, use the learnbot to check if there is a position B with more information. If there is no such item, perhaps add item B - or optimize item A.

 

A similar approach can be used to check if there is enough information to understand.
Just ask the learnbot to generate some code. For programming languages like Python and C++ this works very well.
If the learnbot is systematically making mistakes, you could try to fix the problem by improving the documentation.
or: teach/correct the learnbot. Soon the learnbot will be the source of "ultimate" truth : )

I appreciate your response and suggest that it would have been nice to had it included in your initial discussion.

Have you tried discussing LearnBot related things in the LearnBot's marketplace page?
