beginners questions

Hi,

A: Perhaps - I don't know, I've never seen a Hebrew keyboard - because you require multiple keypresses in order to obtain a single character? Have a look under the Duration/Input tab of your textdisplay or whatnot, go for Advanced, change MaxCount and take not of each point you find confusion. Then go through the Help files and seek clarification. Regarding UNICODE and such, I'm sure Rinus, from this list, could help you, as he's very experienced with non-Latin languages (met Uw welnemen, Rinus!).

B: If you also really want strings (rather than one keypress) to work in E-Prime, check the Echo display under the same Advanced button. However, one wonders what you're using E-Prime for... if it'd be questionnaires and such, I'd say go for an entirely different programme (unless you're like me and find it cool to do things the difficult way?). If not, are you really interested in sub-millisecond accurate recordings of every reaction-time of every key-press? If not, I'd suggest read once again through David's comments regarding InputBoxes and such.

Cheers,

Mich

Hi,

Did you read the replies you received last time? Perhaps you could tell us where you're stuck, otherwise, I believe the answer should be "yes, it is."

String responses: possible, bit difficult (read previous responses)

Hebrew: possible (I once made an experiment in Farsi!)

E-Prime 2 should provide full support for non-Latin languages (UNICODE support and international languages).

Best,

Mich

Yoed, 

	1. david - i want my subjects to type an answer as a response which
	will be registered by e-prime

I just noticed that my earlier response neglected the "will be registered by e-prime" aspect of your question.  For the record, things like AskBox or InputBox will not log anything to the data file unless you add some specific script to do that.  In contrast, using advanced features of the Input Mask will get your responses logged without needing script, unless you want more extensive information like the time of each key press, etc. (for things like that you have to delve into the InputMask.Responses topic of the online E-Basic Help, and download the example program from PST).
