Just Run

[Paul Kieffaber]

Ray,
I have used a free, open-source utility called AutoHotkey
(http://www.autohotkey.com/).  With it, you can write simple scripts to run
the .ebs file and automate keystrokes such as F7 or subject numbers etc.
You can even create forms and store data so that you can collect
demographics and then have the .ebs file run automatically when the person
submits their demographic info.

Hello Ray,

The way I have set things up in my lab is as follows: Once the experiment is
developed and ready to run, I simply copy the script ( .ebs ) file to an
appropriate folder on each of my four lab machines. Then I create a shortcut
using the procedure outlined in the E-Prime User's Guide. This creates an
icon that can be placed in a directory for experiments, or even on the
desktop of each machine if you wish. Once a shortcut is set up, for future
experiemtns, all you have to do is make a copy, rename it for the new
experiment, then change the Target and Start In fields to incorporate the
name of the new experiment.

I hope this makes sense.

Is there a way to just run an experiment?
I mean instead of clicking the E-run file and then Build and then Run?
What I'd like is something to click on and the experiment would then
just start. Is there a command line way to that?  If so, maybe we could
make a shortcut to that or something?

Thanks.

Ray
