Can't import data to PSPP (Syntax error)

[Manuel Soares]

Hello,
I'm having some problems to import data to PSPP. I saved the excel file in csv format, but when I tried to import it to PSPP I always get this message:
error: could not open C\etc\etc\etc.csv No such file or directoryGET DATA\TYPE=TXT\FILE="C\etc\etc.csv\ARRANGEMENT=DELIMITED\DELCASE=LINE\DELIMITERS=","\VARIABLES=.1:error: Syntax error at end of command
Can someone help me, please? I need to finish this paper very soon and I'm stuck with this PSPP issue.

There's a lot wrong here. Maybe you should use the GUI to read the
file.

Hello Manuel,

As Ben says try to import through the GUI. Or maake a copy and paste
from the manual and delete everything you don't need.

In particular, you did not finish the line \FILE= with the delimiter ".

Did you succeed in importing ?

Regards

I guess the other big error is that all the \ (except in the filename)
should be /. And there's no list of variables.
