Even an extra space in a group's name will result in problems importing the code list! It's best to copy and paste group names to avoid any mistakes in typing the name.ģ. Important: When entering group names, be absolutely certain not to misspell the words.
If the code description includes multiple lines, the lines are separated by a linefeed (ASCII 11).ġ.If a code does not belong to any groups, it is designated as belonging to the universal group, "All Codes".The group or groups to which the code belongs, if any, separated by vertical bars ( | ).Each line consists of four items separated by tabs:.Each code or group is on a separate line.The format of the code list file is as follows: If you like, you can change the exported file before using it, adding or deleting codes and code descriptions, and adding or changing group assignments. Advanced Topic: Modifying the codes in a text editor or spreadsheet This avoids any possibility of making format errors. When possible, it's better to make any changes to the Code Book in HyperRESEARCH itself, export that list, and then import it into other study files unmodified. Important: HyperRESEARCH requires that the code list be in a specific format, and modifying the code list by hand may cause problems importing. If you want to change the code list by hand, you can open it in any text editor. If you don't want to make any changes to the code list, skip to "Importing the Codes Into a Study". The code list file is created on your disk in plain text format. Enter a name for the exported list, then export the file. From the "Edit Codes" menu at the top of the Code Book window, choose "Export List".ģ. If the Code Book window is not already visible, choose Codes > Code Book to show it.Ģ. The file can then be used in other study files.ġ. If you already have a list of codes that you've prepared in a HyperRESEARCH study file, you can easily export this list to a file. Preparing and exporting the codes in HyperRESEARCH Your code list can be used either as a basic set (that can have more codes added for each study file), or as a way of maintaining a single, constant list of codes across several study files. avoid inconsistencies such as variant spellings.use a standard set of codes for a department or working group, with other, study-specific codes added to it as needed.
distribute an updated or expanded list of codes when several researchers are working on the same study.
easily re-use the same set of codes for multiple related studies.You and your research group may want to use the same list of codes in more than one study file.

This Technical Note will show you how to use such a standardized list. You can use these standard codes along with additional codes for the specific study you're working on. If you or your research group has a list of standard codes that you want to use, you can create a master code list to import into every new HyperRESEARCH study file you create.
