Re: reading csv data set

Mon, 01 Jan 2018 12:42:06 -0800 

Hi Gene,
I tried another way: I downloaded the csv file and directly opened it in Libreoffice, without saving it, see the attached screen capture. The LO interface is in French, but the buttons should be at the same place in all of the different language-versions of LO. And then you can open the ods file via the GET DATA command. I have no syntax for the csv file. Did you look into the PSPP manual p.86- ?

Could I ask what syntax you used to read my csv data set?

Thanks again for all your feedback

Thanks. I'm not really clear on what you mean.
"integrating several field delimiter into a single one"

"Only when you stop the last functionality the importation went as 
expected."


Can you please explain or give example?

Thanks for your help.

Gene

Hi,
I imported the ods data file with the following syntax:
GET DATA /TYPE=ODS
/FILE="(file path)\pd_data_cia.ods"
/READNAMES=ON.
and it worked.


I also imported the csv file into Libreoffice Calc to see the data. 
When using the comma as a field delimiter I realised that the function 
of integrating several field delimiter into a single one made that the 
imported data and the column headers did not fit : there were too few 
data columns. Only when you stop the last functionality the 
importation went as expected.



Thanks for the idea of a direct importation of ods files into PSPP of 
which I was unaware.

    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.

        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
