Re: running syntax file from ui vs running syntax file from command prompt

[Kees Varekamp]

Here you are

- running this script from the command line (>pspp thai.sps --syntax-encoding=UTF-8) gives garbled labels

- opening it in the GUI (you need to manually select utf-8) works fine.

Cheers,

Kees

Can you post an example syntax file which provokes the problem?

     Hi there,

     I am trying to run a utf-8 syntax script in PSPP 0.8.2 on win7 64bit, but I
     think there is a problem when I run the a syntax file from the command line:
      --syntax-encoding as a start param does not seem to work:

     I have tried:
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding=UTF-8
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o

     log.txt--syntax-encoding=utf-8

     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o

     log.txt--syntax-encoding=UTF8

     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding="UTF-8
     "

     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" --syntax-encoding="UTF-8" file.sps -b
     -o log.txt

     All with no success - my Thai characters get garbled. However, when I load
     the script through the gui (and select UTF-8 from the dialog) it works
     perfectly. So I think this command line param just doesn't work.

     Thanks,

     Kees
