Re: reading csv data set

[ftr public]

Hi Gene,

I also tried to import the csv data file and got into difficulties.

How did you import the ods file ? Can you send the syntax ?

What is funny is that the country data set has no case, i.e. country, names.

Regards,

ftr

Hi all

I'm trying to read in a data set, in csv. I also have xls and ods versions, all here

https://sites.google.com/site/gsocialchange/datasets

All the files I'm looking at are versions of the pd_data_cia data set.

I -have- imported the ods version, but when I try to import the csv version, I just get blank. I go to file, import data, go to my directory, and all the files are listed. I click on pd_data_cia.cvs, and then on the upper left of the screen, where it says select file to import, I cannot select any of the options.

I am using pspp version 1.0.1-g818227, downloaded a couple of days ago from here

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows/

I'm on windows, 64 bit operating system, I think windows 10.

I also tried using the command line, and, well, not doing it right, perhaps someone can help? These are the lines I tried

get data

  / type=txt 

  / file=’C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.csv’

  / arrangement=delimited

  / firstcase=2

  / delimiters=","

Thanks

Gene Shackman
