Re: get username as variable

[Paulo Serôdio]

Two things:

(1) unless your survey is called "survey_name", it won't work and you'll need to replace that bit with the actual name of your survey.

(2) the row should come after the "get code" row, and it should be of type "calculate" or possibly "hidden" .

However, last I checked the get function wasn't working. Maybe this is something you could raise with Ruben and Cyril. At least I never managed to get it to work...

if you create user names with 7 characters:

in the "value" column for the row where you want to store this information, you can write `r substr(survey_name$session, 1, 7)`

if you use a delimiter at the end of the usernames (here I'm assuming you'd be using an exclamation mark, "!")

you can write: `r gsub("(*.)\\!(.*)", "\\1", survey_name$session)`

you'll need to replace "survey_name" with the name of your survey.

Best,

Hi Luigi,

A couple of ideas: if you set usernames with a fixed number of characters, then you can use the substr() function with R to extract, for example, the first 7 characters from the session variable, as in your case below. Alternatively, you can end your usernames with a symbol, for example “_” or “!”, and use gsub() to extract all characters up to that symbol.

Best,

Paulo

Hey everyone,

when I create a new user for a run, I assign a username for this participant (for example: 12345PL). In the column "session" is see the session with the Username + rest (12345PLXXX3nbpJWMkVetLM1DtT3ezu9YZA8pefobefpSuvHOc8n3tMjxt-scdqc). How is it possible to fetch only the username (12345PL) as a separate variable? I tried get anchor, bit this doesnt work

Zhank you and greetings

Luigi

Hi,

get function is working if you add anything (except an empty string) into the label column but conditioning upon this variable with showif within the same survey does not work last time I checked (see https://groups.google.com/g/formr/c/f8aS8VMilQo/m/hV8DrU-1BAAJ)

Kind regards,

Mario
