E-Prime Run has been creating individual data files for each one of my participants, how can I get it to append the data for each one of my participants to the same data file?

Thanks,

Karine

Karine,

I am pretty sure that E-Prime will not allow appending data to the end of a data file, the data for each session must go into an individual data file.

However, E-Merge may be able to combine and summarize the individual data files as you like after they have been collected. Take a look at E-Merge and see if that will help.

If you've got access to a linux or mac system, I've written some code that'll do it. Installation instructions and requirements (installation is probably 'gem install optimus-ep') are up at:

To actually combine your data, you can say:

eprime2tabfile --outfile=combined_subjects.txt subject_1.txt subject_2.txt ... subject_n.txt

or more simply, if your files are named nicely:

eprime2tabfile --outfile=combined_subjects.txt subject*txt
