Group: Forum Members Posts: 49, Visits: 123	Hi all. Is it possible to conditionally specify the number of trials in a block element? I've tried a couple of different approaches (below), but I keep getting an 'invalid syntax' error. More details attached. <block K_Prac_block> / trials = [1 - values.LETTER_item_num = noreplace(LETTER_Prac_trials)] </block> I've also tried this (both with and without quotes): <block K_Prac_block> / trials = [1 - "<%values.LETTER_item_num%>" = noreplace(LETTER_Prac_trials)] </block> Thanks, Jeff Attachments Conditional_trialnumber.exp (717 views, 988 bytes) Tags block-element trialnumber

You need to implement this differently, e.g. using a /stop attribute. <values> / ntrials = 40 </values> <block myblock> / stop = [block.myblock.trialcount>values.ntrials] / trials = [1-10000=mytrial] </block> Regards, ~Dave

To clarify for those who find this later, the stop attribute executes after the block has run so if the ntrials variable equals the maximum, then the stop function should be / stop = [block.myblock.trialcount >= values.ntrials] Jeff
