Hi all,
Very commonly, researchers at our lab want to convert files from E-Prime into something readable by Excel (or Matlab or R or whatever) -- but converting a whole bunch of edat files to tab-delimited format is rather tedious. Also, occasionally, we don't get the full edat file, and are just left with the .txt log file, which adds another step.
To solve these problems (and hopefully open the window to fully automated processing of stimulus data), I've written a little open-source program to handle this conversion. It's still in an early stage of development, but if you're interested, it's available at:

Cheers,
-Nate

A brief update on this project (if such announcements are inappropriate in this forum, please let me know):
The software now supports transformations of eprime data (computing new columns, filtering rows, and sorting). So, if you have a process that's like:
Collect subject data with E-Prime -> Process with Excel -> Do statistics
...this package may well be able to automate out the Excel step. Which is nice, if you're going to look at a new metric for 200 subjects.
It's still definitely a bit rough around the edges (you'll want some programming experience, some knowledge of ruby would help), but I'd love some feedback and suggestions from people collecting data from outside our lab.
Cheers!
-Nate
