trim user's sentence

[pirelaurent]

relates to a post https://www.chatbots.org/ai_zone/viewthread/2314/
Rivescript doesn’t cut the trailing blanks after cleaning punctuation symbols and leading blanks give also problems;

for example, with :

• do you love me
• yes, i do !

if user enter :
do you love me ? (with a blank before ? ), this doesn’t match
do you love me? works well
do you love me? doesn’t match

I add this branch to add the trim once punctuation has been treated.
Everything comes back to : do you love me and is ok.

-> as this is my first Coffee script, my first github pull and my first rivescript test, be indulgent !

HTH

caution : third sentence had a leading blank not kept by the chat.:
.do you love me? (. for blank )

In coffeescript, indentation levels are important. These lines should be indented to the same level as the return statement.

Also, String.prototype.trim() is already built into the language, so this line can be replaced with:

msg = msg.trim()

Hi Kirsle,
i try the following :
remove previous proposal by git revert ,
change only brain.coffee as suggested by yourself (previously i use tab , not series of whitespaces doing indentation problems)
commit locally
push on my clone
send this message

hope this is correct.
Hope this tiny change correct too in order to have answer to >do you love me ? (space ?)
Hope you accept too.

Indent this comment line too.
