    Ignoring the incorrect.txt file for certain trials?

    [edited from support email]
    Is there a way to get DirectRT to ignore the incorrect.txt file for certain trials? I'm requiring correct answers for one portion of my experiment, and so have an incorrect.txt file in my folder, but later in the experiment I ask a few questions with multiple correct responses (e.g. a 1-6 scale), and DirectRT is only allowing the first response option. Any suggestions for this situation?

    Currently there is no way to turn the incorrect function off and on within a single input file. What if you used rt:num for those multiple choice questions--that would make any number key a "correct" response. Of course, that would mean 7-9 would also be accepted but if that's ok, it could be a workaround for now. rt:any would also work..
