    Missing value for time column

    [edited from support email]
    I am trying to run the following input file in DirectRT but every time I attempt to run it, I get an error box that says I am missing something from the TIME column in row 6. I have gone through all the time columns multiple times and can’t see what I am missing. If you could take a look at the attached spreadsheet, I would REALLY appreciate it.
    THANKS!

    I checked out your input file and everything looks good. It's probably happening because of the double quotes located in your text stimuli. Instead of "X" try single quotes like 'X' and see if that helps. Double quotes can be problemmatic because they are sometimes used as field delimiters.

    removing quotes did not fix problem

    I tried removing the double quotes from my text in my stimulus column (i.e., ~Please enter your answer OR hit "z" to go back to previous screen and try again. TURNED INTO Please enter your answer OR hit 'z' to go back to previous screen and try again.). But this did not help the trial to run. I am still getting the same error message. Hmmm... A mystery!

    To be safe, try a global search and replace on the file. Replacing all instances of " with '. I just did that in the attached revision of your file and it seems to work ok now--at least on this machine.
