Re: running syntax file from ui vs running syntax file from command prompt

[John Darrington]

Can you post an example syntax file which provokes the problem?

     Hi there,
     
     I am trying to run a utf-8 syntax script in PSPP 0.8.2 on win7 64bit, but I
     think there is a problem when I run the a syntax file from the command 
line:
      --syntax-encoding as a start param does not seem to work:
     
     I have tried:
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding=UTF-8
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding=utf-8
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding=UTF8
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" file.sps -b -o
     log.txt--syntax-encoding="UTF-8
     "
     "C:\Program Files\PSPP\bin\pspp.exe" --syntax-encoding="UTF-8" file.sps -b
     -o log.txt
     
     All with no success - my Thai characters get garbled. However, when I load
     the script through the gui (and select UTF-8 from the dialog) it works
     perfectly. So I think this command line param just doesn't work.
     
     Thanks,
     
     Kees
