In R:
library(foreign) test <- read.spss("test.sav", to.data.frame=T) test
XCHAR
1 a 2 ab 3 abcde
levels(test$XCHAR)
[1] "a " "ab " "abcde"
Shouldn't it rather be "a" "ab" "abcde" (no blanks)?
I think, that should be no problem since the blanks in XCHAR may be easily removed with gsub()
If you have
> s<-c("a ","ab ","ab cd ")then
> gsub(" ","",s)
[1] "a" "ab" "abcd"removes all spaces or
> gsub(" *$","",s)
[1] "a" "ab" "ab cd"removes all trailing spaces.
Hope this helps!
