Hey dear OS team, I am currently writing a repor tabout a study we conducted last year using OS- although everything went fine during data collection and analysis, I cannot longer open the script to dobble check things now. There's always the error message Failed to open

Failed to open the file for the following reason:

Invalid variable name: [VARIABLE_NAME]

Is there a possibility to get access back?

Thank you for your support! Great software, great forum:-)

Hi Lena,

in which version did you program your experiment, and in which version are you trying to open it now?
Can you upload the experiment here?

Thanks,

eduard

Good question @eduard:-)- T he experiment was finished 12 months ago, but I am unsure which OS Version was the latest at that time. I have attached the file here, however, there are Videos embedded so I am not sure whether there is a possibility to open the file without having a folder with videos to refer to. For us, it would be enough to see the code-we don't necessarily have to rerun the experiment. Thank you already for your support!

Hi Lena,

You created the experiment, or at least ran it for the last time, with OpenSesame 2.9.6. (You can see this by extracting the experiment file with a program like 7zip, and looking at the OpenSesame version at the top of opensesame.script.)

You can download older versions of OpenSesame from GitHub:
