This is how I get a whole SPSS data files into R. You specifically asked about the codebook, so this may not be exactly what you are after. spssFileInfo <- spss.system.file ( file = "path to my SPSS file" ) spssDataSet <- as.data.set ( spssFileInfo) spssDataFrame <- as.data.frame ( spssDataSet )
(Not tested. Adapted from working code.) memisc documentation has more info about doing this and how it works. eRic ----- Original message ----- From: "barny" <garyb.dav...@btinternet.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:04:16 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [R] Getting codebook data into R Hi Eric - after seeing the difficulty of inputting this kind of data into R I decided to use your method. It was rather painless using PSPP to do what I wanted - however, how do I now create an SPSS file and then use the memisc package to read it in? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Getting-codebook-data-into-R-tp4374331p4379433.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
