[solved] Program Not Opening

gabor1

Hello,

We have written a short program script using the OpenSesame interface, saved the experiment, and went to reopen it, but it will not reopen. We have tried saving it in every format we could think of that was compatible for OpenSesame:

.opensesame.tar

.opensesame.tar.gz

.opensesame

.opensesame.tar.opensesame.tar.gz

None of these have worked, and the error message we keep getting says:

Failed to parse line "��(���6aҠ"". Is there a closing quotation missing?
line: 172
exception message: No closing quotation
exception type: ValueError

Traceback (also in debug window):
  File "dist\libopensesame\item.py", line 968, in split
  File "shlex.pyo", line 279, in split
  File "shlex.pyo", line 269, in next
  File "shlex.pyo", line 96, in get_token
  File "shlex.pyo", line 172, in read_token
ValueError: No closing quotation

If you could help us, that would be great. Thanks!

Hi,

Based on the error message it looks like you're trying to open a .opensesame.tar.gz file (file pool + script in a zip-like format) as a .opensesame (script in plain-text format) file. So I would first double check whether you really cannot open the file if you give it a .opensesame.tar.gz extension (Windows might hide extensions for known types). If that doesn't work, could you upload the file somewhere and post a link?

Cheers,
