Running one E-Run File directly after another?

[liwenna]

Hi Liza,

I don't know which version of the autoit script you're running now
(the original version by Frank, or the modified one that autofills the
subject session number)? In the last version it might help to extend
the 'sleep' periods in the script somewhat. I found that sometimes the
sleep periods are too short and the autoit script runs more fast than
the computer does and this way the next erun file doesn't start.

If you use the modified version also make sure that the subjects are
properly instructed to not touch anything when the script is opening
and autofilling the next task.

And on a 'sticking my nose in matters that are not mine note': why not
have your student simply delete all the attributes that belong to one
task when analysing the other and vice versa?  The autoit script is,
unfortunately, far from perfect and unless you want to merge like 4 or
more complex tasks, I wouldn't prefer to use it over "simply" merging
tasks and deleting attributes.

Best,

liwenna
