Can someone please offer some advice on PSPP's ability to write an output data
file (text file)? I'm using Windows on a PC.
I have created a test file of three lines, it looks like this when I open it in
Notepad:
01AA45
02BB56
03CC78
PSPP reads the data okay and then writes the data to an output file without
error. Please see the following code:
data list fixed
file='C:\JUNK\PSPPdat.txt'
/vara 1-2 (A) varb 3-4 (A) varc 5-6 (A).
list.
WRITE
OUTFILE='C:\JUNK\OUTFILE.TXT'
/vara 1-2 (A) varc 3-4 (A) varb 5-6 (A).
execute.
However, the output file has the following format when viewed in Notepad:
0145AA0256BB0378CC
It would appear that the output file does not have any 'carriage return/line
feed' characters that Notepad recognises. Other editors can be used that will
'see' the file in a rectangular format. I was wondering if something can be
done so that the data can be seen as follows:
0145AA
0256BB
0378CC
Thank you, Ron
