[solved] Joining tasks

GuidoCor

Hi!

I have three different tasks and now I want to join them into one single experiment (and make some randomizations). Is there any drag and drop option to put them together easily? Or copy-pasting the block of code?

Thanks in advance : )

Hi Guido,

I've tried merging scripts but realized it's much easier just to copy-paste from one experiment to another. To my knowledge there is no alternative like drag and drop between experiments, but let me know if you find one

Hi guys.

In OpenSesame 3, you can right-click on an item and do 'Copy (unlinked)', which you can then paste into another experiment. This will copy-paste the entire tree below the item that you selected.

However, in many cases it might be easiest to just run the three experiments consecutively using a script (or a batch file on Windows).

Cheers!

Oh! That was easy and great = D Thank you!

Mmh also I would try to make a script. Do you have any example of a 'chaining' script for Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu it's really easy. If you create a bash script run-exp.sh with something like this:

#!/bin/bash
opensesamerun exp1.osexp -s $1 -l subject-exp1-$1.csv -f
opensesamerun exp2.osexp -s $1 -l subject-exp2-$1.csv -f
opensesamerun exp3.osexp -s $1 -l subject-exp3-$1.csv -f

Then you can execute it as ./run-exp.sh 1 for the first participant, etc. (The $1 corresponds to the first command-line argument, which is used as the subject number here.)

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Great! Really good. Thanks : )
