Dear users,

The above subject matter refers.

I tried using the pspp-convert command but I can't seem to get my way
around obtaining the output.

Please, can you tell me what I need to do so as to convert a .sav file to
.csv file. Be explicit on where I need to type the commands and what I
should do next, please.

Thank you in anticipation of your response in this regard.

Sincerely,
Chinasa Ikelu

psp-converter does not serve to that, you need to use the SAVE TRANSLATE command to convert your SAV file to CSV.

SEE: https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/SAVE-TRANSLATE.html#SAVE-TRANSLATE

Or you can use "pspp file conversion service" for the task. http://pspp.benpfaff.org/

If you have a file named data.sav, this command will convert it to CSV
format, in data.csv:
pspp-convert data.sav data.csv
