NAME


pspp-convert - convert SPSS system and portable files to other formats

SYNOPSIS


pspp-convert [options] input output
pspp-convert --help | -h
pspp-convert --version | -v

DESCRIPTION


The pspp-convert program reads input, which may be an SPSS system file, an SPSS/PC+ system
file, or an SPSS portable file, and writes it to output, performing format conversion as
necessary.

The format of input is automatically detected, when possible. 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. Use -e encoding to specify the encoding in this
case.

By default, the intended format for output is inferred from its extension:

csv
txt Comma-separated value. Each value is formatted according to its variable's print
format. The first line in the file contains variable names.

sav
sys SPSS system file.

por SPSS portable file.

Use -O extension to override the inferred format or to specify the format for unrecognized
extensions.

pspp-convert can convert most input formats to most output formats, with one exception: if
the input file is an encrypted system file, then the output file must also be an
(unencrypted) system file.

OPTIONS


-O format
--output-format=format
Specifies the desired output format. format must be one of the extensions listed
above, e.g. -O csv requests comma-separated value output.

-c maxcases
--cases=maxcases
By default, all cases are copied from input to output. Specifying this option to
limit the number of cases written to output to maxcases.

-e charset
--encoding=charset
Overrides the encoding in which character strings in input are interpreted. This
option is necessary because old SPSS system files do not self-identify their
encoding.

-p password
--password=password
Specifies the password to use to decrypt an encrypted SPSS system file input. If
this option is not specified, pspp-convert prompts for the password.

On multiuser systems, this option may not be safe because other users may be able
to see the password in process listings.

-h
--help Prints a usage message on stdout and exits.

-v
--version
Prints version information on stdout and exits.
