Hi,
I'm using readkeys to get an identifier from the participant on the start my experiment.
My identifier is 5 digits long.
My curent usage is:
task mytask
table mytable
show bitmap img
readkeys option show -350 -45
text color black
readkeys option space 60
readkeys option size 5
readkeys option placeholders 50 50
readkeys @1 &responsetime
1. Is it possible to enforce readkeys to a specific lengh? now, the user can enter whatever number of digits he wants as long as the total length is smaller than 5
2. Is it possible to enforce specific keys? like in readkey command?
Thank you,m

Currently, the "option size" is the maximum number. So in your example, people can provide anything up to 5 characters.
Unlike readkey, any character can be entered.
In the future, there might be more options. Can you tell us why and what you want?

In this case, the input is an identifier of the participant that is later used to merge additional data that we have on this participant.
Therefore, I have to enforce the participant to actually submit his ID and not skip the entire step or enter a shorter text that we won't be able to use.
I would love it if you can implement the following requirements:
1. add a minimum length for the text
2. add keys restriction like in readkey
3. if 1 isn't possible - an option to check the length of the WORD
Thank you

I see, but there is a much simpler way to do it! I am of course not entirely sure about what you are trying to do, but when you do online data collection, your online experiment must be embedded in a survey, which gives you options to enter information like age, identification, and what have you.
In your case, you can just have a textline where you ask for the person's ID number and when you download all the PsyToolkit data, the ID is part of what you get in your downloaded data spreadsheet.

Yes, I'm currently embedding the experiment within a survey.
Can I control the text min/max size and valid keys via the survey?
Does it support Hebrew?

You can set the size of a text field, but I am not 100% sure what you need. It seems very detailed, if you email me, I can help with your specific case.
