Hi all, 
I am new to Inquisit (and programming overall) and have a couple of questions. I am hoping to create batches of tests for participants to complete in a sequence. It is my understanding that the batch element should be defined in a separate script file, so I created the below script. When I try to validate the script, I get the same error for the attributes in the script- "missing double quotes". I modeled my batches after the Inquisit 6 help page and keeping hitting the same wall. Here is some background info that may help: there are 4 different sessions of inquisit tasks for participants to complete. For the most part, all participants will complete the same tasks, except for the second session. One group will complete an additional task, the MID. If anyone could provide some guidance on how to edit the script, it would be greatly appreciated! 

<batch>
/ directory = “PENGuIN”
/ file = “stroopwithcontrolkeyboard.iqx”
/ file = “dotprobetask.exp”

/ sessions = (1 of 4)
</batch>

<batch>

If you look at the code in Inquisit, notice that the quotes are curly.



Inquisit does not accept these as valid double quotes, it expects plain ones, i.e. " and ".as in



notice, too, the syntax highlighting when you use the correct double-quotes.

Hi Dave! Thanks for your help, this is very helpful. After fixing this, I received a couple more errors. Attached is a screen shot of what I'm encountering: 

I checked the file paths and they are all correct. Do you have any guidance with this issue? 
Thanks for your help!

The files aren't where the batch scripts expects them to be. It's looking for them on your desktop, specifically C:\Users\dillonk\Desktop.

The screenshot of the errors further suggests that you forgot to include the file extension in your <batch> elements' /file attributes, i.e. you specified something like

/ file = "stroopwithcontrolkeyboard"

instead of the correct

/ file = "stroopwithcontrolkeyboard.iqx"

Hi Dave!

Thanks for your help. I've made these changes. However, when I try to run this batch script (called penguin), I get the following error message (See attached). I'm stumped because the script is validated and I've saved the script in the same spot as the rest of my Inquisit files. Any guidance there will be appreciated

You're using the /directory attribute in your <batch> elements, which is not applicable to web experiments. You need to remove it

Oh, ok. Thank you! That helped, but when I tried to run it, I got this error message (see attached). In the batch script, the stroop file is written like this:
<batch>
/ file = "stroopwithcontrolkeyboard.iqx"

I uploaded the stroop from the test library to the online experiment, so I'm a bit confused. Thanks again for your help!
