These options are an alternative to -p or -password. a alphabet -l max-length -password-alphabet= alphabet -password-length= max-length On multiuser systems, this option may not be safe because other users may be able to see the password in process listings. Specifies the password to use to decrypt the input file. The password options are: -p password -password= password If none of these options is used, pspp-convert prompts for the password. To do so, the user may specify the password with -p (or -password), or the name of a file containing a list of possible passwords with -password-list, or an alphabet of possible passwords to try along with a maximum length with -a (or -password-alphabet) and -l (or -password-length). When the input file is encrypted, pspp-convert needs to obtain a password to decrypt it. The option sets the character used to quote fields that contain the delimiter. The default is a comma ( ,), unless the decimal point is a comma, in which case a semicolon ( ) is used. ![]() This option sets the character used to separate fields in output. This option sets the character used as a decimal point in output. This option makes pspp-convert honor variables' print formats. print-formatsīy default, pspp-convert writes numeric variables as plain numbers. With this option, pspp-convert recodes them to system-missing values (which are written as a single space). recodeīy default, pspp-convert writes user-missing values as their regular values. With this option, pspp-convert omits this line. no-var-namesīy default, pspp-convert writes the variable names as the first line of output. ![]() With this option, pspp-convert writes value labels. labelsīy default, pspp-convert writes variables' values to the output. drop= var.ĭrops each var listed from the output. keep= var.ĭrops all variables except those listed as var, and reorders the remaining variables into the specified order. This option is necessary because old SPSS system files do not self-identify their encoding. Overrides the encoding in which character strings in input are interpreted. Specifying this option to limit the number of cases written to output to maxcases. c maxcases -cases= maxcasesīy default, all cases are copied from input to output. O csv requests comma-separated value output. format must be one of the extensions listed above, e.g. Options General Options -O format -output-format= format Options for the output format are ignored in this case. Encrypted SPSS file formats are exceptions: if the input file is in an encrypted format, then the output file will be the same format (decrypted). Pspp-convert can convert most input formats to most output formats. Use -O extension to override the inferred format or to specify the format for unrecognized extensions. (Only encrypted syntax files may be converted to this format.) The first line in the file contains variable names. Each value is formatted according to its variable's print format. Use -e encoding to specify the encoding in this case.īy default, the intended format for output is inferred from its extension: csv txtĬomma-separated value. The character encoding of old SPSS system files cannot always be guessed correctly, and SPSS/PC+ system files do not include any indication of their encoding. The format of input is automatically detected, when possible. The pspp-convert program reads input, which may be an SPSS system file, an SPSS/PC+ system file, an SPSS portable file, or an encrypted SPSS syntax file, and writes it to output, performing format conversion as necessary.
