Chatterbot: How to store chatterbot's unanswered questions in a text file?
hi everyone!
I'm new in python and working with chatterbot to create a chatbot but problem is that i have no idea how to store _unanswered questions_ in a separate text file so that I can add their answers later.
i'll very thankful if anyone help me regarding this.

Hello @HassanSheraz,
I guess you will need to do it by yourself, I do not think the library can be configured to do that.
you can, for example, set the default answer to be -1 and check every answer returned by the library if it equals -1 then you have unanswered question that you can write it to a file or even store it in a database.

The BestMatch logical adapter has an option that would return a default response. Every time a default response is returned, the confidence level is 0. You can use this to write to a file.
You will be initiating the chatbot like so:
python
chatbot = ChatBot(
"MyChatBot",
logic_adapters = [
{
"import_path":"chatterbot.logic.BestMatch",
# other parameters for your chatbot
'default_response': "I can not answer this!"
}
]
)
Every time you do response = chatbot.get_response(), if the default response is through, response.confidence will be 0.
