19.3 The convert Command

pspp-output [options] convert source destination

Reads SPV file source and converts it to another format, writing the output to destination.

By default, the intended format for destination is inferred based on its extension, in the same way that the pspp program does for its output files. See Invoking pspp, for details.

See Input Selection Options, for information on the options available to select a subset of objects to include in the output. The following additional options are accepted:

-O format=format

Overrides the format inferred from the output file’s extension. Use --help to list the available formats. See Invoking pspp, for details of the available output formats.

-O option=value

Sets an option for the output file format. See Invoking pspp, for details of the available output options.

-F
--force

By default, if the source is corrupt or otherwise cannot be processed, the destination is not written. With -F or --force, the destination is written as best it can, even with errors.

--table-look=file

Reads a table style from file and applies it to all of the output tables. The file should be a TableLook .stt or .tlo file.
