Data Parser 4.1
Data Parser is a nifty ÔlittleÕ stack for transforming data
from Column format to Delimited format or to change the
delimiter of your data file.
Why should you want to do that? Well, basically because the
statistical software you use wants the data in a specific
format. E.g. a certain widely used statistical package for
mainframes likes its data to be in column format, while a
widely used spreadsheet for the Macintosh wants its data in
ÔTabÕ or ÔcommaÕ delimited format. (OK, a spreadsheet is NOT
statistical software, but it just goes as an example.)
Although most statistical software offers services for the
exchange of data between packages, usually, at least in my
experience, the one you need just isn't there. So faced with
the need to move data from a mainframe to my Macintosh, and
the complete lack of portability of the data files I
conceived, created and wrote Data Parser.
Do NOT rename data parser, at least ont function in it
relies on the fact that the stack is named "Data Parser 4.1"
Data Parser NEEDS Hypercard 2.1 or later. It has been tested
on a Classic running system 6.0.7 with 2.5 Mb of RAM and
Hypercard 2.1
Data Parser is Use ware, if you find it usefull USE it.
