Log File Convertion Script

wishiknewprogramming

Hi everyone,

I am currently piloting an experiment on JATOS using OSWeb. I also wrote a script on Matlab so that it extracts some columns from the xlsx file. However, I want to analyze subject data separately and want to use a standardized names for the log file, such as sub001.xlsx, sub002.xlsx, etc. Default extension of the log files is .txt and I use OSWeb GUI to convert txt files into xlsx. Is there any code to convert them without using GUI, and if so, can I assign names for that files using that script?

Best regards,

Jonah

Hi Jonah,

I am not too familiar with Jatos, and OSweb, so I migt not be aware of code that is provided and does what you want. But wouldn't it be possible, to preprocess your datafiles in Matlab or Python, before you start the actual analysis? So first read the text files, and then save them again in a format of your liking. txt files should be universal enough that it will work with the most commonly used software to analyse data (even Excel).

I hope this helps,

Eduard

Hi Eduard,

You are right, I also thought about that option and talked with my PI but then we decided to use the excel format. I know it is not optimal but we decided to name them manually for now and it works :) Thanks for your help!

Best,
