Importing SPSS data into R

[Ariel Tikotsky]

Hi all,

I'm trying to import SPSS data into R, but Hebrew characters end up as NA using one method, and an error using a second method.

library (foreign)

library(memisc)

dataset1 = read.spss("C:\\PathToFile\\16199.sav", to.data.frame=TRUE, reencode='utf-8')   # tried both with and w/o the reencode

# Hebrew characters end up as NA

dataset2 = spss.portable.file("16199.por")                                  # por is the portable SPSS format; 

# this gives the following error message:

# Error in parseHeaderPorStream(ptr) : 

# unknown tag "6" found in line 7 offset 38

Tried changing the locale to Hebrew (using Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "Hebrew"))  - doesn't help...

any advice would be highly appreciated!

Ariel

לא שאני מבין את מקור הבעיה, אבל הייתי מנסה גם את הפונקציה read_spss של חבילת haven
