Tracking User respons

[D2C]

Hi,

I am trying to build an presentation in which the user can respond to several questions (kind of interview).
There are 10 questions in which the user can respond with a text entry and keypress interaction.
After the user has responded to the questions, I would like to show all his responds in a list that is displayed in my own presentation.

How can I do this?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, I've only just got back into this forum.

To deal with this type of problem you need to use a list. At its simplest a list is a collection of variables, all with the same name but distinguished by a number.

You create the list at the top of the flow line by MyList:=array("",0) Which simply creates the variable and allocates space in memory for it. In this case the list is a list of string (text) values.

Then you need a counter of some sort (properly called an index). Lets say MyAns:=0.

Each time you want to record a response you can use some code like this:

MyAns:=MyAns+1
MyList[MyAns]:=EntryText -- Or some other variable

At the end of the quiz you will have a list of the responses and can retrieve each one individually or as a group, for either display or storing.
