So I’m trying to create a javascript that will scan the User’s description/role for the following fields: Last_Name, Race, Political Entity, Rank, Position to be used in Character description/personality/instruction/role and Initial chat messages, But it wouldn’t work. So I came up with a twork around where its stored in the javascript. I require help in getting a javascript code that scans User’s description/role.

Original

function extractInfo(description) {
    const fields = {
        lastName: description.split('Last Name:')[1].split('\n')[0].trim(),
        race: description.split('Race:')[1].split('\n')[0].trim(),
        politicalEntity: description.split('Political Entity:')[1].split('\n')[0].trim(),
        rank: description.split('Rank:')[1].split('\n')[0].trim(),
        position: description.split('Position:')[1].split('\n')[0].trim()
    };

    return {
        getLastName: () => fields.lastName,
        getRace: () => fields.race,
        getPoliticalEntity: () => fields.politicalEntity,
        getRank: () => fields.rank,
        getPosition: () => fields.position
    };
}

const info = extractInfo(user.description);
console.log(info.getLastName()); // Should output the last name
console.log(info.getRace()); // Should output the race
console.log(info.getPoliticalEntity()); // Should output the political entity
console.log(info.getRank()); // Should output the rank
console.log(info.getPosition()); // Should output the position

Retrieve each field by calling info.getLastName(), info.getRace(), and so on. Problem is replacing user.description with the actual string containing the user’s description.

Work Around

function extractInfo(description) {
    const namePattern = /(?:(?:\b\w+\s){2,})(?:\b\w+\b)/;
    const lastName = description.match(namePattern)[1];
    const racePattern = /\bRace\b\s*:\s*([\w\s]+)/;
    const race = description.match(racePattern)?.length > 0 ? description.match(racePattern)[1] : "Unknown";
    const politicalEntityPattern = /\bPolitical Entity\b\s*:\s*([\w\s]+)/;
    const politicalEntity = description.match(politicalEntityPattern)?.length > 0 ? description.match(politicalEntityPattern)[1] : "Unknown";
    const rankPattern = /\bRank\b\s*:\s*([\w\s]+)/;
    const rank = description.match(rankPattern)?.length > 0 ? description.match(rankPattern)[1] : "Unknown";
    const positionPattern = /\bPosition\b\s*:\s*([\w\s]+)/;
    const position = description.match(positionPattern)?.length > 0 ? description.match(positionPattern)[1] : "Unknown";

    return {
        lastName: <lastName>,
        race: <race>,
        politicalEntity: <politicalEntity,>
        rank: <rank>,
        position: <position>
    };
}

const updatedDescription = "<short description>";
const updatedResult = extractInfo(updatedDescription);
console.log(updatedResult);

Where you can call each field individually by accessing the properties of the returned object, like result.lastName, result.race, result.politicalEntity, and result.rank.

    As a general strategy for parsing stuff out of free-form/natural language, I’d definitely recommend using the AI text generation rather than regex, since natural language is so diverse that regex will fail a lot of the time. In most cases there are too many different ways that things can be said to be able to capture them all with regex.

    I assume you’re talking about perchance.org/ai-character-chat custom code, and if so, you could do something like this:

    function scanDescription(description) {
      let result = await oc.getInstructCompletion({ // oc.getInstructCompletion is the /ai-character-chat custom code equivalent to perchance's ai text plugin
        instruction: `Convert the following description into a JSON object like this: { lastName, race, politicalEntity, rank, position }\nDESCRIPTION: ${description}\n\nRespond with just the one-line JSON object, and nothing more.`,
        startWith: `{ "lastName":`, // make it start off with the correct format (to ensure it doesn't e.g. say "sure! I can help you with that...")
        stopSequences: ["}"], // force it to stop at the end of the JSON, just in case it doesn't stop by itself (e.g. tries to say "there you go!" or something)
      });
      return JSON.parse(result.text);
    }
    
    // Example usage:
    
    let info = "Nick, a 49-year-old man, is from a small farming town in Iowa. His last name is Young, he is human, and he holds the rank of Captain in the local police force. His political entity is the United States.";
    
    let result = await scanDescription(info);
    
    console.log(result.politicalEntity);
    console.log(result.lastName);
    // ...

      Does not seem to work from the Custom JavaScript code field, if I put into the chatbox then it works after words except of course Initial chat messages
