Hi,

I have problems using an executable file in my experiment.

I designed a study which consists of 4 different parts. in the first task, 6 colors have to be chosen out of 20. I used a custom-item based on html.
Later in the 4th part of the experiment I want directRT to display 6 stimuli. These stimuli contain information of the first part of the experiment.

Therefore it was necessary to write a java file to readout the data-file (csv) of part 1 and creates a .txt-file containing the information which images direct rt will display in the fourth part of the experiment. Of course this java file has to be activated. I therefore used a bat-file.

could it be that ML writes the csv-files AFTER having finished the WHOLE experiment? This would explain why it never works properly.
Maybe bat-files are not supported generally?

..and how to solve the problem? is there another way to record information of the first part and use this information in the last part?

If anyone has some ideas that would be great!
Thanks a lot

Moritz
