Hi again 

Well, I have the following code. What I want to do with it is in comments:  

<topic name="Intro">

<category> 
<pattern>My name is *</pattern>
<template><srai><star/> </srai></template>
</category>

<category>
<pattern>* </pattern> ---- what ever the user replies in the above
question the bot will reply one of the following. However the problem is
when the user replies "I am John" for example, which conflicts with the
pattern below.-- 
<template>
<random>
<li>Nice to meet you <star/><think><set name="name"><star/></set></think>.
May I also ask your age?</li>
<li>Hi there <star/><think><set name="name"><star/></set></think>. May I
also ask what your age is</li>
<li>Its is good to see you <star/><think><set
name="name"><star/></set></think>. Would you mind if I 'll also ask your
age</li>
</random>
</template>
</category>

<category>
<pattern>I am *</pattern> 
-- I need a <that> tag here to distinguish this pattern with the case where
the user types "I am john" in the previous question. However the problem is
what kind of previous utterance to use in the <that> tag since the robot
previous utterances are generated randomly. Any ideas please help!!!!!!!!---
<template>
<random>
<li>Great <get name="name"/>, would you like me to explain you how the
system works</li>
<li>OK <get name="name"/>, would you like me to tell you how the system
work</li>
<li>Great <get name="name"/>, would you like to know how the system
works</li>
</random>
</template>
</category>
