Pspp-users Digest, Vol 140, Issue 17/Sample Export Code

[Aj Hollenbach]

Greetings,

To follow-up on the question concerning how to export to CSV, here is a
sample of the code that I tried to use to run a "save translate" into CSV.
Appreciate any guidance on how I should modify this code.

Thanks,
Allen

SAVE TRANSLATE
/OUTFILE={’TestCSVfile’}
/TYPE=CSV

Subject: Re: Importing Data
Hi John,
I tried it with the two most recent versions, I believe from November 2017
and Jan 2018. I used the Windows installers. Any ideas for what might be
going wrong?

Hi - when I try importing a .csv file into PSPP it does not give me
the
option to indicate that the first row of data includes the variable
names.
It also does not automatically import them as names. I have
uninstalled and
re-installed PSPP multiple times while also creating different .csv
files
but the variable names still do not appear.
It does for me! Which version are you using?

Subject: Exporting Dataset into Excel or CSV File
Greetings PSPP Users,
I am attempting to export my data set to an Excel or CSV file but cannot
seem to figure out the syntax or find a pathway for this within the GUI. I
would greatly appreciate any recommended syntax for the export process.
Thanks and Regards,
Allen Hollenbach

As a place to start, remove { and } from the syntax.

Hi Allen,

A first look into the Help can help you, as well as a copy of the error
message PSPP generates for those on the list who answer.

Did you replace the text {’TestCSVfile’} with the path and the name of
the csv file ?  such as in

/outfile= "c:\documents\datafile.csv"

If you want to get columns with the variable names you add

/fieldnames
