Customizing Logging/Output

TypeFunDiabetes

I will be using OpenSesame as part of a cognitive training study (starting April 1), which involves subjects coming in for multiple sessions. I currently record and log Subject # and Session variables, but every time the same subject # is used, the logging file (e.g., subject-1.csv) is overwritten.

I could have the subject runners manually name the output files, but that introduces a lot of room for human error, especially with the amount of data that will be collected (hundreds of subjects completing 16 sessions each).

I would like to be able to either name the log file (sub_session_task.csv) or create a new custom output file from an inline script within the experiment. I've tried out a few commands that work from a Python terminal, but I haven't been able to create a text file from within OpenSesame using the Droid back-end on a Nexus 10. Any ideas?

Whoops, sorry for the double post. I'm not sure how to delete a discussion.
