Inquisit has a toupper() string function, which you can use for that.

<item tfakeitems>
/ 1 = "abc"
/ 2 = "def"
/ 3 = "ghi"
/ 4 = "jkl"
</item>

<text tfake>
/ items = tfakeitems
</text>

<values>
/ index = 0
</values>


<trial t_fake>
/ ontrialbegin = [values.index = text.tfake.nextindex;
item.tfakeitems.setitem(toupper(item.tfakeitems.item(values.index)), values.index);
]
/ stimulusframes = [1=tfake]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<block example>
/ trials = [1-4 = t_fake]
</block>

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your solution. I tried toupper and .setitem but I failed on setting the proper index.

Best wishes Jens

Hello,
I tried out your code and it worked perfectly, however, it does not work in this code. I miss the difference.

<text aufwaermtarget>
/items = aufwaermtargeti
/select = current(aufwaermprime)
</text>

<item aufwaermtargeti>
/161 = "Krimte"
/162 = "Heizung"
/163 = "Klimer"
/164 = "Wunde"
/165 = "Kohle"
/166 = "Farnseber"
/167 = "Tobel"
/168 = "Husten"
</item>

<text aufwaermprime>
/items = aufwaermprimes.items
/select = noreplace
</text>

<item aufwaermprimes.items>
/161 = "Kapuzenpullover"
/162 = "Gedankenkontrolle"
/163 = "Tapetenkleber"
/164 = "Schnittwunde"
/165 = "Abflussreiniger"
/166 = "Röhrenfernseher"
/167 = "Raucherhusten"
/168 = "Bürgerwehr"
</item>

<trial aufwaerm>
/ontrialbegin = [values.trialcounter += 1; values.index = text.aufwaermtarget.nextindex;
      item.aufwaermtargeti.setitem(toupper(item.aufwaermtargeti.item(values.index)), values.index);]
/ontrialend = [values.prime = text.aufwaermprime.currentitem; values.target = text.aufwaermtarget.currentitem;]
/stimulusframes = [1 = fixation; 30 = maske; 61 = blank, aufwaermprime; 64 = blank, aufwaermtarget]
/validresponse = ("F", "J")
/response = timeout (2500)
/branch = [if(values.trialcounter == values.break_after_x) trial.pause]
</trial>

(1) Please, in the future, provide code that is complete as to be runnable.
(2) The selection of the target item in your code is dependent on the selection of the prime item.

<text aufwaermtarget>
/items = aufwaermtargeti
/select = current(aufwaermprime)
</text>

Thus you need to take the index of the prime stimulus, the index of the target stimulus is indeterminate as long as no selection of the prime stimulus has occurred.

<trial aufwaerm>
/ontrialbegin = [values.trialcounter += 1; values.index = text.aufwaermprime.nextindex;
      item.aufwaermtargeti.setitem(toupper(item.aufwaermtargeti.item(values.index)), values.index);]
/ontrialend = [values.prime = text.aufwaermprime.currentitem; values.target = text.aufwaermtarget.currentitem;]
/stimulusframes = [1 = fixation; 30 = maske; 61 = blank, aufwaermprime; 64 = blank, aufwaermtarget]
/validresponse = ("F", "J")
/response = timeout (2500)
/branch = [if(values.trialcounter == values.break_after_x) trial.pause]
</trial>

Hello Dave,

okay, next time more code. Thanks a lot for pointing me to the wrong index.
