[solved] Collect semicolon responses?

psederberg

Hi again

Is there some way to collect keyboard responses with the semicolon (;)?  The difficulty is that the allowed responses takes a semicolon separated list, so including a semicolon causes an error.

Thanks,

Hi Per,

No :O Not through the keyboard_response item anyway. I opened an issue on GitHub.

You can do it fairly easily using an inline_script though:
from openexp.keyboard import keyboard
my_keyboard = keyboard(self.experiment, keylist = ["'", ";"], timeout = 3000)
start_time = self.time()
key, end_time = my_keyboard.get_key()
self.experiment.set("response", key)
self.experiment.set("response_time", end_time - start_time)

Also, see the openexp.keyboard api.
