Re: PSPP Windows 7 Terminal mode (Joe Genshlea)

[Harry Thijssen]

Hello-

I'm a big time NB, so please bear with me.

When running PSPP in terminal mode on windows the first character of the
executed line carries forward to the following line.  I can't seem to get
around this

Examples:

PSPP> GET DATA
G

PSPP> DATA LIST LIST
D

if I type "/" sometimes the cursor will tab forward and allow me to enter a
subcommand, but then the following line will render with a "p"

PSPP> GET DATA
GET DATA
    > /TYPE=TXT
pTYPE=TXT

.1-5: error: GET DATA: Syntax error at `pTYPE': expecting `/'.

.1-5: error: GET DATA: Syntax error at `pTYPE': expecting TYPE.


I've installed two different versions on my Windows 7 computer and observe
the same behavior. The version I'm currently running is PSPP-084-20150224


I know this must be really obvious.  Thanks for your patience.

Joe

Hi Joe

I can confirm this behavior. But I don have an idea how to solve it. Software build from the current  sources has the same problem.
If PSPP is started from the commandline with a .sps file as parameter it works fine.

A work around is using PSPPIRE and work from the syntax window.

Have fun
