I see. I think my problem is that I was trying to find the one key
place in which to check the state.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the tip.<br>

<div>yes, you just need to liberally lace your script with statements
checking up on the status of the "user break state". the more places
in your script where you double-check the user break state, the more
places, and the more readily, your script will know how to terminate
early in the event it detects a change in the user break state.</div>

ends prior to conversion to EDAT format (an error occurs, or the user
presses Ctrl+Alt+Shift). If you want the ability to end an experiment
early, y<font color="black"><span style="color: black;">ou can add a
small piece of InLine script called a "graceful abort" that will allow
you to terminate an experiment after a trial or block without losing

description of the graceful abort can be found in Section 2.8.2 of the

much, but if we had to quit an experiment, a usable edat file would be
great. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">it seems like the formatting of the text file
data file could be improved dramatically in future versions of eprime.<br>
if for any reason a program quits before having a chance to make a
.edat file, it would be nice to have a more useable trial-by-trial
recording of what went on. something that, in a pinch, could be opened
in excel and understood.<br>

The last couple weeks had a number of threads in<br>
relation to data handling in E-Prime. The recent<br>
E-Prime 2.0 Feature Survey placed its emphasis on many<br>
of the design and implementation features and did not<br>
focus on any data handling improvements for E-Merge<br>
and E-DataAid.<br>
<br>
Please feel free to discuss any items you would like<br>
to see for E-Prime 2.0 in regards to E-Merge and<br>
E-DataAid.<br>
<br>
Improvements to export in general?<br>
Improvements to export to Excel?<br>
Improvements to export to SPSS?<br>
Improvements to export to XML?<br>
<br>
PST is certainly not going to try to reinvent the<br>
stats wheel and understand there are many stats<br>
packages available and exporting to them is intended. <br>
Are there any areas where E-Merge or E-DataAid could<br>
be improved to make it so that bouncing in-between<br>
packages would be reduced?<br>
