I have a trial process like this
Triggers inline
Fixation1= nestedlist ofr three different time intervals
Cue = (three different types #, o, +)
Fixation2 fixed time
Picture display
rating slide
Blank slide
Reset Triggers
I want to show that Cue # and o should be green while + should be displayed as black. [Cue = (three different types #, o, +)]
Please any suggestion to do that?
Regards

if I've understood correctly what you're trying to do, then if you add two more attributes (columns) to one of your outer triallists e.g. 'cuetext' and 'cuecolor' then on the text slide displaying your slide set the text as

[cuetext]    (the square brackets tell eprime that its an attribute to replace at runtime from the trialist)

and set the fontcolor value to be [cuecolor]

you'll need to populate the 2 new columns in the trialist with the appropraite values #,o,+ and green or black

Tabs,

If you want to keep each cue shape associated
with a particular color, then you should use a
single List with columns for shape and color. If
you want to run through a number of known
combinations, then you should still use a single
List with two columns, and put in all your
desired combinations. If you want to freely mix
up cue shape vs. color, then you should use one
nested List each for shape and color.

My online course takes you through an exercise
where you practice all of these List techniques,
but you may also learn more about nested Lists by
doing the nested Lists tutorial in Appendix C of
the User's Guide that came with E-Prime ("The
E-Primer" from Michiel Spapé et al makes another
fine reference, http://step.psy.cmu.edu/materials
). For that matter, you owe it to yourself (and
others) to first work diligently through all the
tutorials in all the manuals that came with
E-Prime. Even more generally, much of the advice
at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/VCXgOWjKtCg still holds.
