Is there a way of exporting a list of variable names & descriptions? Perhaps using a line of r code??

could you elaborate what you mean?

with thanks

Sorry for the delay! I mean, from the Variables tab/display, is it possible to export variable Names and Descriptions? For example, into a csv file, code book or readme.txt?

the .csv file format only supports a single line for column headings, so it wouldn't be possible.

unless you mean a .csv file where the descriptions are themselves "the data".

if you use the rj editor, the descriptions are attached to each column in a `jmv-description` attribute.

you could assemble these into a data frame, and then use the write.csv() function to write them to a file.

cheers
