stim list text showing up as random characters
I am having a problem with DirectRT presenting random characters instead of text when presenting some items from my stim list files. The stim lists contain sentence-length segments of text, with various punctuation marks (e.g., %, '). I am wondering if there are any known issues with presenting certain types of punctuation marks? Or, if it could be a problem with the format of my text files? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Stim list continuing to show up as random characters!
I have also encountered the same problem whereby I am pulling text from a stimlist and sometimes instead of the text I see ".bmp" on random trials. I have checked and all text in my stimlist is prefaced with a ~ so I am completely mystified as to why this is still happening! My stim all look like this "~A 4." If you have any ideas please help me out!
Thanks so much!
