Import Excel File of Coding Language Quiz
Jun 08, 2020
Hello!
I need some help with importing an Excel file with quiz questions into SL.
The file includes questions and answers on a C++ course and I am having issues with how the coding language symbols (e.g. //) are displayed. I typed the answers in in the correct form, using *correctanswer.
As in C++ there are several commands starting with //randomsymbols and we want to create questions about what exact command to use, I'd need to have the symbols displayed correctly.
Is there any magic trick on how I can fix this?
Thanks a lot!
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
I think we need a bit more detail about what you are attempting to do.
I just created a sample quiz using those answer choices and didn't see any issues.
Thanks Dave! I looked at your file and it seems to work somehow.
Now I just have to figure out what's the problem with my import.
As soon as I import the file, all the text after a // is treated like a comment and not displayed in my form view.
Did you do anything specific with the way how you typed in your questions? I am wondering why it is weird for me.
I would say that it is because I typed the numbers in by hand.
Microsoft products have a bad habit of adding characters that you can't see, and those can really mess things up.
Even when I copy and paste from Microsoft products, I'm careful to paste as text only, or paste and copy through notepad first.
So I tried to re-type the question and every single answer (each includes a // as this is needed for the specific course)
The question shows up in SL but not answers!
I dont know what might be the difference to your approach?
I can't duplicate your problem. Could you post your storyline file here? maybe someone can look at it and figure out what is causing the issue.
