  Usually when I need a short answer that can be handled by a software, I'll ask chatgpt to return in the format that I want (by example, `markdown` or `json`), and at end of my command I add this sentence:
  
  `Act as a computer software: give me only the requested output, no conversation.`
  
  Another idea is something similar to the [Act as a linux terminal prompt](https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/):
  
  `I want you to act as a linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. do not write explanations. do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so.`
  
  You can even include a penalty instruction like:
  
  `You'll loose points if the returned output contains any content other than requested output`.
  
  The last resource is to try a regular expression to replace the chatgpt non wanted talk. Usually it'll contain something like:
  
  > Here is the requested content in markdown format.
  
  So, to prevent this to get returned to the user, I run a regular expression to replace it (**JavaScript**):
  
  ```
  const clearAnswer = answer.replace(/.+in markdown format:\n\n/gm, '');
  
  ```
