I'm trying to run an analysis on an older dataset for which I have the stimulus events file (ppf?) used in CIGAL but nothing else. I tried to create new XML files by editing an existing one in Word, and eventstat is having trouble reading them. The only difference I can detect is that the XML files I'm used to seeing start like this: <?xml version="1.0" ?> and the new ones I'm creating have this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> Does anyone know what those two extra statements mean, and if they might be a problem? They're not visible in Word so I don't know how to get rid of them. Thanks! Carissa
Those shouldn't cause any problems. What does eventstats say?
Also, you can generate XML files from just the .ppf file, but they won't have any response info or the actual presentation times (which may differ from the intended time by a miniscule amount).
It's reaching the line where it has to read in these files, and saying that a file or directory in the path doesn't exist, but I've checked for typos etc. and I'm sure they are there as written in the path. Is there any other reason that it might not recognize the XML files?
