Hi
Thanks for the response. I imported the ods file through the gui interface.
That is,
file
import data
went to my directory, clicked on the ods data set
next
got the screen importing spreadsheet data
next
apply
I did notice that, when I read the ods file, pspp, in the output viewer, showed
this
get data
/type=ods
/file="C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.ods"
/sheet=index 1
/readnames=on
/cellrange=range "a1:al236".
So to try to read the csv file, I tried this
get data
/ type=txt
/ file="C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.csv"
/ arrangement=delimited
/ firstcase=2
/ delimiters=",".
now, only one error:
.19: error: Syntax error at end of command: expecting '/'.
Does that help?
Thanks
Gene

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
