Group: Forum Members Posts: 25, Visits: 68	Hello, I'm back on a self-paced reading task that I run last year and it emerged a new issue. As illustrated in the picture below, the script incorrectly adds dashes to the end of the sentence. The extra dashes appear once the end of the sentence is reached. This error can be replicated both offline (downloading the script here https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/selfpacedreading/ and running it using the latest version of Inquisit lab 5) or online clicking "run test online" at the same web address. Hope there is an easy solution! Thank you for your help. Luca

Luca In your script's <expressions> element, replace the existing /getpostwindow expression with / getpostwindow = if(abs(length(values.inputstring-values.winend))!=0) {values.postwindowstring = substring(values.maskstring, values.winend, abs(length(values.inputstring)-values.winend))} else values.postwindowstring = ""; and replace the existing /getpostwindowhl expression with / getpostwindowhl = if(abs(length(values.inputstring-values.winend))!=0) {values.postwindowstringhl = substring(values.maskstringhl, values.winend, abs(length(values.inputstring)-values.winend))} else values.postwindowstringhl = "";
