SublimeText 2 IBM SPSS Dimensions

Build System

Place the SPSS Metadata Validator.sublime-build to {instalation_path}\Sublime Text\Data\Packages\User

Change the path to ProjectValidator.mrs so that it will match you preferences.

It only validates files ending in .mdd-metadata but you can change this as you like in the build file.

After you place the file just select from Tools\Build System the SPSS Metadata Validator option and the press CTRL+B

Syntax highlighting

Place the SPSS Metadata (mdd metadata).tmLanguage file to {installation_path}\Sublime Text\Data\Packages\User

The files need to be .mdd-metadata to be automatically recognized.

Snippets

Place SPSS - Question Template.sublime-snippet in {installation_path}\Sublime Text\Data\Packages\User

Now create a new file (CTR+N) and write spssqtpl and then press TAB it will create a basic question template for you to use.

Examples

Build System

DragHereToValidate.bat

:: If you want to use a batch file try this. Make a shortcut and drag n drop the file to be validated on it

Call "mrScriptCL.exe" "{path_to_mrs_validator}\ProjectValidator.mrs" /a:mddpath=%1
