Re: reading a csv file

[Daniel E WILLIAMS]

 

This may not answer your question, but maybe part of it:

 

Here is a script that will read the attached ".csv" data file.  The variable names had to be removed from the top of the file, and the file had to be saved with UNIX end-of-line encoding.  The code tells PSPP the variable names and formats.  I hope this helps!

Sorry for a probably stupid question but I'm quite new to pspp and cannot
find a proper answer in the manual.

I'm trying to read a dataset in "comma-separated" format. A problem I have
in doing this is that variables names are already in the data file in the
first line, but I don't know how to tell it to pspp.

Any easy hint?
