If a user enters text that is in all caps (e.g., "BOB"), the capitalize function, in my experience, retains the entire text as all uppercase. Tags capitalize function

If this undesirable in your paradigm, convert the response to all lowercase first, then capitalize: <values> / a = "" / b = "" </values> <block myblock> / trials = [1=sequence(myopenended, mytrial)] </block> <openended myopenended> / ontrialend = [values.a=capitalize(openended.myopenended.response); values.b=capitalize(tolower(openended.myopenended.response)); ] </openended> <trial mytrial> / stimulusframes = [1=mytext] / validresponse = (57) </trial> <text mytext> / items = ("<%values.a%> \| <%values.b%>") </text>
