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

[Kees Varekamp]

Actually, it seems that both fail...

The gui shows the labels correctly directly after you run the script in the gui, but if you close, then open the output that was generated by save /outfile, it is garbled again. So that would indicate it's not the --syntax-encoding param but instead the sav reading or writing.

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,

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
