JATOS Log File Names
Hi everyone,
I am trying to download the log files of JATOS, however, if I am not mistaken, default log file name is the downloading date and time of the computer. I also cannot download log files seperately at the same time. Is there any way to change those, I mean, put a systematic name like sub_001.txt?
My other question is, I am converting results using OSWeb GUI. Is there any code for that? If so, can I implement the subject number assignment so that the result excel file would be sub_001.xlsx or something like that?
Best,
Jonah

Hi Jonah,
I assume with 'log files' you mean exporting result data and downloading them as files (JATOS also has log files but they have a different purpose).
if I am not mistaken, default log file name is the downloading date and time of the computer
You are not.
I also cannot download log files seperately at the same time.
Not sure I understand. You can always download each result separately by checking the result's checkbox and choose 'Export Results' -> 'selected'.
Is there any way to change those, I mean, put a systematic name like sub_001.txt?
Not currently. The advantage of a timestamp suffix is that it cannot have duplicates, while with something like sub_001.txt you will get the same filename the second time you export results and then your OS will do something like sub_001_1.txt or similar difficult to read.
My other question is, I am converting results using OSWeb GUI. Is there any code for that? If so, can I implement the subject number assignment so that the result excel file would be sub_001.xlsx or something like that?
You better ask this over in the OSWeb forum. There are the experts.

Hi @kri ,
Thanks a lot for the quick response! I get it. I will ask the last question in the OSWeb forum.
Best regards,
