3 Export

The third step in the data preparation stage is to Export the .emrg to a .txt file so it can be imported into R.

Before we can do so we will need to copy the E-Prime merged files from the Z: drive over to SharePoint. This is only because exporting the files takes considerably longer on the Z: drive than SharePoint.

1. Copy all the E-Prime Merged data files over to SharePoint:

   Georgia Institute of Technology / Engle Lab - Documents / Data Collection / [Study Name] / Data Files / Raw Data / Merged

2. Open an E-Merged data file

3. Go to File  -> Export…

4. Change the following options

   Unicode: Uncheck

5. Select Okay

6. Save with the same file name and location as the E-Merge file

   Data Files / Raw Data / Merged

   If there is already an exported .txt file for this task then overwrite it.

7. Repeat steps 2 - 6 for each task
