Separating data into multiple text files
Hello there,
When I download data from jatos, it concatenates all data into a single text file. I wonder what is the best practice to get individual data from these? My data is saved as json, so ideally I would want individual text file per participant. I have been downloading each file separately on jatos, but now as my sample size increases, that method will no longer be feasible.
Please let me know what's the best approach!

Hi!
JATOS exports the result data into a text file where each line is a separate result. So what you have to do is split this file by lines.
I'm not familiar with Matlab or R, but I was told that if you read the results with jsonlab (Matlab) or rjson (R), each toolbox/package will let you split the files.
Or you use your terminal. Which OS are you using? E.g. on Linux you can split a file along it's lines with
