Malfunctioning Batch Script

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 82	Hello, I am trying to run a <batch> script, and for some reason, it does not work. I've tried to validate the two files of the <batch> script, and they work fine, but when I put them together, it doesn't work in Inquisit 4 (but it works in Inquisit 5). Is there a feature of Inquisit 4 that I've missed that Inquisit 5 has, and if so, is there a way around this issue? Here are the scripts: The combined script: <batch condition01> /subjects= (1 of 2) /groupassignment= random / file= "Batch UVA Final.iqx" </batch> <batch condition02> /subjects= (2 of 2) /groupassignment= random / file= "Batch VCU.iqx" </batch> Batch UVA (same thing for Batch VCU.iqx): <batch> / file = "UVA group assignment.iqx" / file = "ManipCheck UVA.iqx" / file = "Disgust Ratings UVA.iqx" / file = "donatemoney.iqx" / file = "Demographic Survey UVA Final (2).iqx" </batch> Thanks!

If so, that won't work. The solution would be to get rid of "Batch UVA Final.iqx" and "Batch VCU.iqx", and instead list the scripts direclty in the "main" <batch> elements. I.e., you'd have a single <batch>-script containing just // scripts for the UVA condition <batch condition01> /subjects= (1 of 2) /groupassignment= random / file = "UVA group assignment.iqx" / file = "ManipCheck UVA.iqx" / file = "Disgust Ratings UVA.iqx" / file = "donatemoney.iqx" / file = "Demographic Survey UVA Final (2).iqx" </batch> // scripts for the VCU condition <batch condition02> /subjects= (2 of 2) /groupassignment= random / file= "1st script formerly contained in Batch VCU.iqx'" / file = "2nd script formerly contained in Batch VCU.iqx" .... </batch>
