In working with IBM Watson Conversation Service (WCS) I want to print an email address in the response. The problem is that WCS is neglecting all the characters after @ symbol and the @ character itself.
I tried using ' and \ to escape it, but it didn't help much.
How can I print an email address in a response string?
This is the same problem. I had faced it. and the solution is very pretty simple.
if you are using watson assistant UI try in response like,
youremail\@gmail.com
it will work, if you are using watson assistant API to manipulate the dialog. you have to give
"youremail\\@gmail.com"
I don't know the reason for that. but, the solution seems to work.
If you need to write a static email address, you might have to hack it. It seems like WCS assumes you know what you're doing if you add a (dummy) variable in the response.
ex: Email addr@gmail.com!
results in: Email addr! (text)
but: Email addr@gmail.com! <? $x >
results in: Email addr@gmail.com! (link)
the former is just the literal 'addr'
the latter is the link: (addr@gmail.com) < a href="mailto:addr@gmail.com" class="WAC__Link WAC__Link-email" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" > addr@gmail.com < / a >
