Using Persian language in rivascript

[hamidreza01]

Hi, do I encounter syntax error while using rivaScript with Persian? Do you know any way to fix it?

using '?' :

using '+ :

Hey @hamidreza01 be sure that UTF-8 mode is enabled and these should parse correctly.

The ? command is a special workaround for if you want a "keyword trigger" where it matches if the word is used anywhere in the user's message (equivalent to a trigger of + [*] word [*] but due to JavaScript Unicode issues with that syntax, the ? command was added).

Thank you and your wonderful library, do you just have a solution for the following command?

? [*] سلام [*]
It does not work when it is in Persian, but it works well when it is in English

Hey @hamidreza01

I think this command may work:

? سلام

The [*] wildcards surrounding the word aren't necessary, as the ? command basically provides the functionality that the [*] wildcards were trying to provide. So if the word "سلام" is seen anywhere in the user's message the above trigger should (hopefully) match it.

Yes, fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, it works. But what should I do if I want it not to work for other sentences?
