Flat file with multiple lines per record |
When there are many observations for each subject, they are often arranged in multiple lines per subject. In this case, there are 10 observations per subject. 5 on the first line, and 5 on a subsequent line.
This is the data file, TWODAT.txt:
Elizabeth 11010
01011 AXBC
Henry 01101
11010 DSGH < The final letter codes are ignored for this analysis
^ ^ ^
1 6 12 Column
The Facform keyword file is TWOkey.txt
; File: TWOkey.txt
; This converts a multiple line per record file
$Input = TWODAT.txt
$Output = TWOFAC.txt
$Facets=2
$Flabel=1,Examinee
$Flabel=2,Item
$Label=1,,$S1E10 ; the examinee name
; Get items from the first line
Itemnum = 1
Pointer = 12
$DO=5 ; go round the 5 items on the first line
$Label = 2,Itemnum
$Rating = $S(Pointer)W1
Itemnum = Itemnum + 1
Pointer = Pointer + 1
$AGAIN
; Get items from the second line
$Nextline ; advance to the next line
Itemnum = 6

$DO=5 ; go round the 5 items on the second line
$Label = 2,Itemnum
$Rating = $S(Pointer)W1
Itemnum = Itemnum + 1
Pointer = Pointer + 1

The resulting Facets file is TWOFAC.txt:
