Well, my scripts do everything from raw mri to 2nd level stats, on 100s of subjects. It's been a long long time i entered any 0s or 1s manually.
But I agree, computers should make life easy. Matlab and the spm suite of tools do just that IMHO. I can sincerely advise to have a look at spm_jobman.m
Good luck, Bas

Thank you Peter and Bas.
Peter's method is nice but doesn't work if the order of regressors is different between subjects (or simply not known). The SPM gui is not precise when the design has 20+ regressors. The name appearing when clicking a bar may change when moving inside the same bar.
A graphic interface would make things more easy and less prone to errors at this point. After all, this is what computers are supposed to do, take away boring tasks from men, like scripting or creating vectors of 0 and 1 :)

most people I know don't use the UI indeed, SPM's at is best when used as a matlab toolbox IMHO.
using the matlabbatch system (see spm_jobman), creating many contrasts is a breeze.
Best,
Bas

Subject: [SPM] GUI for creating contrasts ?
Hi list,
I am a bit surprised not to find any tool for easy creating contrasts in SPM.
Isn't there a gui with all conditions listed to pick with a mouse click for creating a contrast?
Everybody is working manually to create vectors and Matlab scripts?
Thank you.
