Replace words in coder for translation

[flo.jul...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

for the reason that I have to translate my experiment in different languages, I have to change all the rating scale words into another language. Because I use 35 different rating scales, replacing them all by hand takes a long time.

So my question is: Is there a REPLACE FUNCTION in the coder of Psychopy? So for example that the coder replaces every written word (beruhigend) into (soothing)?

I tried it with this python command, but it didn't work:

str.replace(beruhigend, soothing)

I also tried this one:

str = "beruhigend";
print str.replace("beruhigend", "soothing");


Thanks and best regards,

Florian

I'm afraid I never got around to adding find...replace into the coder.
Workarounds:
    - in Coder using Ctrl-G (find next) and Ctrl-V (paste) you can paste a replacement pretty quickly
    - open your file in some other editor (python files are plain text) and do the find/replace there

To replace text using code (e.g. during a run) I wonder if it's just that you used the name `str` for your variable. str is a python term for converting things to strings ( str(9) == '9' ). Try using a diff name:
   
    >>> x = "beruhigend"
    >>> print x.replace("beruhigend", "soothing")
    soothing

best wishes,
Jon

Dear Jon,

thanks for your kind reply. Yes thats true. I just have to copy the whole script in an editor and replace there everything. That's much easier I think. Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Florian
