  " I dont know how to make a programm analyse a sentence."

  I don't think anyone does.

  hi,

  your question is not clear , would you clarify more with an example

  best regards

  Douwe!

  you are hitting an open research question!

  research NLP: Natural Language Processing many algorithms are available and are currenttly under development in this area.

  what you are hitting is called Computational Linguistics theory.

  nowadaysInformation retrieval and question answering algorithms, like ReneeC mentioned, are mostly domain specific, there was a software named Unix Consultant which answers questions about the unix system only...

  i think that we are going beyond the scope of this thread and this forum...

  Thanks I can do something with that, but if anyone has a better or more idea's: THERE VERY WELCOME!!

  ReneeC: Parsing is the first step to hit the problem...

  If you ever watched StarWars,

  He's the "grand Jedi" he is the "master"

  he teachs Darth Vader's son, Luke to be a Jedi

  as he planned in the 3rd movie...

  Dowue,

  I want to be honest with you. A solution to this problem has eluded computer scientists for numerous decades now. BILLIONS of dollars have been spent on it.

  The problem has multiple levels.

  The first level is word recognition

  The second level is syntax analysis. Remember a word like Being can be either a noun or a verb.

  The third level the extraction of mening in context.  Context is the meta-data of language.

  This is a highly specialized field and a beginning programmer will learn a lot. But you won't get anywhere.

  This is what myself and other moderators, experienced people were trying to tell you.

  Hi Douwe,

  first what you should do is "a Parser". (google it, for further details)

  after parsing the sentence, you will start manipulating and analysing it. and here many agorithms are on the table...

  to relate your topic to this forum, i think of this quesiton: "how to create a Parser in VB2005 "

  So you are saying, that a sentence can be quite correct, but a computer can't interpretate it
  
  I understand a computer can't do anything with such a sentence, but I can create a function like un-relevant answers.
  What does parser exactly means, because google ain't that clear about it.

  Parsing and "understanding" the syntax of a native language are two different things.

  If you notice even things like phone companies have programmed voice Q&A with a set menu.

  Computer interpretation of speech... has not been done yet.

  
  
  

• jo0ls

  You mean what we are trying ain't done yet
  That would be fun, but it makes it far more difficult, when noone has ever done this before.
  We'll keep trying!!

  Of course if is.

  You can easlily parse the following sentence:

  The quick green pancake crawled over the lazy analogy.

  That sentence is syntactically correct but........
