[solved] Variable defined using "exp.set" in a for-loop in inline script is not detected by logger

  Hi Sabine,

  Have you tried adding a custom variable in the logger item? It's on the right side of the screen, i believe you can log all the variables create during the experiment by hand there.

  Hi Laurent,

  The problem is that I do not know beforehand how much variables I want to log, so I cannot add them to the logger manually. Therefore I am searching for a way to add the variables to the logger as they are created. My current way out is that I create a large number of variables with a default value. The logger detects these variables. During the experiment, I then assign the values I want to log to a subset of these variables. The remaining, unused variables keep their default value.
  Still, I was wondering whether there is a more elegant way of logging variables that are created during the experiment (i.e., after the logger is run for the first time).

  Hi Sabine,

  Normally the logger should detect all variables set with exp.set; even variables you create in a loop. But it might depend on where in the structure your logger is placed exactly.

  If anything, you can also manually log variables (yes, it's possible to log variables "manually" on the fly), as follows:

     for i in range(1,8):
           exp.set('comp_dur_' + str(i), 2000+i*500)
           self.log('comp_dur_' + str(i) + ' =' + str(2000+i*500))
  

  Cheers,

  Josh
