Hi,
I've added several personal questions at the end of my experiment (demographics such as sex or age, several open-ended questions, radio-button questions....). The answers to those items are saved in a different file; meaning that I have a raw file where the task's performance is saved and another one where the demos are saved. Ive used a surveypage to display the demographics so it may be due to this. I've tried to integrate the variables' names as a column in the description of the data file to be saved (e.g. sex), as well as referring to variables' names by adding _response and _latency (i.e. sex_response; sex_latency) but this didn't solve anything. It just created empty columns...
Can somebody please indicate me a way to solve this out ?

That's the intended behavior for <survey> elements: They'll output data to a separate, differently formatted file.
If you want to have everything in a single data file, do not use <survey> elements to run your <surveypage>s. Instead run them via <block> elements' /trials attributes.

y but then it'll only display one question by screen right ? don't want them to browse ten screens for ten quick questions..

No, that's incorrect. A <surveypage> is a special type of <trial>. You can put as many questions on it as you want and then do
<surveypage a>
/ questions = [1=...; 10=...;]
...
</surveypage>
<surveypage b>
/ questions = [1=...; 10=...;]
...
</surveypage>
<block someblock>
/ trials = [1=a; 2=b; ...]
...
</block>

hm i may be mistaken but when I do
<block someblock>
/ trials = [1=a; 2=b; ...]
...
</block>
It displays one trial per screen, meaning that if trial a is sex and trial b is age, itll display them separately. I dont see any ways to display several trials on a same page using the block function, this is why I came up with using a surveypage. Am I missing smthg here ?

a and b *are* <surveypage>s. Each can contain as many questions as you need / want.

yes, so then I have to use a surveypage to present several questions on a same page; there's no way to display several trials within the same block on a same page right ?

You set up as many <surveypage>s as you need. Each may contain as many questions as you need / want. Then run those pages via the <block>'s /trials attribute just like any other trial.
