Responsive feedback for open ended answers

Hi guys

I was looking to create responsive feedback where the questions were not multiple choice. So for example when the answer is an interpretation or a sentence and you want to parse the content looking for specific keywords etc.

I've looked around and it doesn't seem like this is possible for Captivate - am I right or is there a way I haven't found? If there isn't an option via functionality provided by Captivate, do you know of how I could do that?

Thanks

hamada

    Maybe the example in this blog post could help?

    Thanks Rod, thanks Lilybiri.

    Can these functions be used to search for strings of words or just one word at a time? So if I'm looking for "greater than 4" can I ask it to look for say "greater" and "4"/f"four"?

    Thanks again

    If you were looking for that level of sophistication I would suggest you use JavaScript and Regular Expressions instead.  But that's a whole 'nother level of complexity.

    If you know the answers will contain specific keywords, and you are assigning the text to user variables, you can potentially use Conditional Advanced Actions to search for these words in the variable values using the Contains operator.
