  Hi Nadam,

  You can always extract your script from an .osexp file, because it is either a plain-text script (if no files in the pool) or a .tar.gz archive that you can open with tools like 7zip (if files in the pool). See here:

  • http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/miscellaneous/file-format/

  In any case, I extracted the script, and you can find it here:

  • https://gist.github.com/smathot/4c207d509dd7e078680d#file-script-opensesame-L53

  The script is corrupt in a funny way, and I don't know what could have caused it. The problem: One block is not indented properly:

      if condition=='cong':
      trig_value='B'
  else:
      trig_value='C'
  
  trigger.write(trig_value) # pousse le trigger sur le boitier arduino
  

  This should be:

      if condition=='cong':
          trig_value='B'
      else:
          trig_value='C'
  
      trigger.write(trig_value) # pousse le trigger sur le boitier arduino
  

  That is, in OpenSesame script everything should be tab-indented at least one level deep. (This indentation will be removed when viewing the script as Python code in OpenSesame.)

  So you can just download the script from the link, fix the indentation in a text editor, and then open the script in OpenSesame.

  However, this shouldn't happen. Do you have any idea what caused the problem? Can you reproduce it? That way we can fix it, and avoid it from happening in the future.

  Cheers,
  Sebastiaan

  Thanks a lot. The problem is solved. I don't understand what happened because this indentation error was invisible and the experiment ran before closing it. But I did copy-paste of the code (from the word document add to the folder).It's probably the source of this bug. Yes it's possible to reproduce the bug with the elements in the folder by adding the green code to the ok_version of my script. I did it a lot of time before to post this S.O.S.

  Thanks again for your reactivity and your interest.

  That's interesting. My gut feeling is that the green text has some hidden control characters (to make it green) that cause the OpenSesame script to become corrupted. I'm going to look into it, and see how we can prevent this from happening.

  I put the green color after meeting the problem, just for facilitate the reproduction, so I think there is hidden formatting, but not (or not only because of the color).

  I hope it will be helpfull for you.
