Specifying output data file location?

[Liza Mccarron]

Thank you for the replies liwenna and Rinus...

Rinus - The package solution is a good one - however I'm using EPrime standard and therefore don't have the Package File editor... :(.. Any other way I can create this file?  I'm guessing not...

Liwenna - I've looked at the various options under Experiment Object Properties (I assume this is what you meant?) but can't find anything obvious - just the log levels seems to relate to data file... 

I think I may ask PST support....

Thanks

Liza

Hi Liza, well.. I think you can change the filename into something you want.. you might create and add a packagefile to do this..
first create your packagefile.. (with the packagefile editor)..
for instance, if you want time+date as part of your edat2 filename, you might add the following to the "initpackages" tree (in your package, in the packagefile editor)

c.DataFile.Filename = CStr(c.GetAttrib("Experiment")) & "-" & CStr
(c.GetAttrib("Subject")) &_
"-" & CStr(c.GetAttrib("Session")) & "_" & Format(Date,"ddmmyy") & "_"
& Format(c.GetAttrib("SessionTime"),"hhnn") & ".txt"

then once you've created the package you have to add it to your experiment..

1. go in eprime 2.0 --> tools, options, tab: packages (this contains the path to the folder your package should be in, you can also add a
folder)
2. start your exp, go in the structure view to Experiment <blabla> (int the top) 3. click on "packages" and add your package 4. now your files are written with date + time

This explanation will self destruct in 5 seconds...

4 seconds...

...

3 seconds... (why are you still reading this.. get to a safe distance)


2. seconds...


1.... secoooooond..
[you have too much time if you're actually still reading this, you should be creating your package..]

Bye, Rinus
