help on ID information

[ElRk]

Hello everyone,

In the beginning of my experiment I have inserted a field where the participants have to type their name (ID) and then press a ‘Start’ button to continue with the experiment.
For the moment, it is possible to press this ‘Start’ button without having typed something. Is it possible to change it so that it is necessary to type a name in order to press the button to move on?

Many thanks in advance,
Eleni

Hello Eleni,

Place a test inside the Button element’s wait command:

newTextInput("ID", "").print()
,
newButton("Start")
  .center()
  .print()
  .wait( getTextInput("ID").test.text(/\w/) )

Thanks a lot for your help Jeremy!

I found out by accident that it works only if something is typed in english.
If someone writes his/her name in greek (which is the experiment’s language) it’s not possible to press ‘Start’.
Is there a way to change this?

newTextInput("ID")
      .print()
      ,
      newButton("Start")
      .print()
      .wait(getTextInput("ID").test.text(/\w/))
      ,
      newVar("ID")
      .settings.global()
      .set(getTextInput ("ID") )
      )
      .log ("ID" , getVar ("ID"));

Hi,

My bad, the class \w will only capture ASCII based characters. Maybe use \S instead to capture any non-space character: .wait(getTextInput("ID").test.text(/\S/))
