Hi,
I have had trouble reading MS Excel-generated csv files before
discovering the /ESCAPE option. In particular an Excel file like this:
uniqID|company |score
1 |Number one|76
2|"The Best" |91
3|Peerless Ltd |20
will become a csv file like this:
uniqID;company;score
1;Number one;76
2;"""The Best""";91
3;Peerless Ltd;20
which is read by GET DATA in SPSS (version 14, sorry) but in PSPP needs
the /ESCAPE option.
So my question is: shouldn't the escaping behaviour be the default, and
a /NOESCAPE option an extension?
Also please note that PSPPIRE generates /IMPORTCASES in the syntax
instead of /IMPORTCASE and SPSS doesn't like that.
Regards
frans
