Naming data files with subject-entered values

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 23	Is it possible to use a subject-entered value (e.g., a textbox response) in the name of the outputted data file? I am conducting a web-based study where subjects must first enter their subject number (e.g., 1111). Once they have completed the task, I want their data file to include the subject number in the name (i.e., data-file-1111.iqdat). I have tried inserting <%textbox.subjectnumber.response%> in the data-naming part of the script, however, this returns several errors. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

The subject id, however, is part of of the standard data file name. What you'd thus do is have the launch page (not the script) prompt subjects to enter their id, which you can configure via your web experiment's settings:
