Re: Windows Text File to PSPP

[srikrishnan sundararajan]

Many Thanks, John..!

 

OS: Windows Vista for 32 bit

PSPP version 0.7.9
Action:-

   'File' menu option 'Import Delimited Text Data...'

   Wizard comes up.

   Prompts for file name (Unformatred Text File; Fields delimitted by Comma)

   Forward

   You can select as many casees (or records) from the top

   It reads the file; assigns variable type & size automatically -> you can change as you wish

   Forward

   Bingo!... You have the data in your PSPP imported from the text file (comma delimitted fields)

 

Let me try more complicated cases and I will let you know

 

Regards, Sri

    File|Import Text Delimited Data? brings up an import dialog "wizard" which should
    be totally self explanitory.
