Thank you very much. The suggestion of having 3 components and addding variables works perfectly. I still have a last issue. The experiment works offline, but not online because of including  
$W2 + ‘\n’ + W9 in the text component. Any idea why this happens?  
Thanks!

I’d expect it to work but two alternatives are:

msg = W3+’\n’+W9 in Begin Routine and then set the text component to $msg

Or have the text component as a space constant and then put  
text\_component\_name.text=W3+’\n’+W9 in Begin Routine

The code component needs to be above the text component
