  Hi Jakúp,

  OpenSesame interprets values in the simplest possible way:

  • Firstly, if the value could be treated as an integer (the most simple type), OpenSesame does so.
  • Secondly, if the value cannot be an integer, but it could be a floating point, it is treated as such.
  • Finally, if the value could neither be an integer nor a floating point, it is treated as a string (the most complex type).

  Because in Python
  

  print int("0010")

  
  gives
  

  10

  
  OpenSesame interprets "0010" as "10".

  What do you need the "0010" values for? Is it possible to, for example, simply rename them to "_0010"? By doing so they will be interpreted as strings rather than integers.

  I hope this helps!

  Best wishes,

  Lotje

  Hello Lotje.
  Thank you very much for your clarification!
  I needed them for presenting stimuli in the form of 100+ images, with numerical file names, but solved it, as you've suggested by naming the variables for example ".0010."

  Best regards,
  Jákup
