In column names now replaces “<” with “under”, “>”
with “over”, “$” with “dollar”, “+” with
“plus”, “@” with “at”. Previously these values would
be replaced by “_“.

column number, but would crash code later.
Fix bug where code wouldn’t run if .sps setup file read MISSING
VALUE rather than MISSING VALUES.
Fix bug when value label is “X thru highest value”. Now will change
all values >= X to be NA.

asciiSetupReader 2.0.0
Major Changes
Adds a single function (read_ascii_setup) that will
read in data for both .dat+.sps and .dat+.sas pairs. This is just a
helper function that calls spss_ascii_reader or
sas_ascii_reader.
Adds function to create sps setup files.
Adds capacity for .sas reader to handle missing values.
Adds a function for users to parse the setup file (.sps or .sas) and
get results. An accompanying vignette explains this function.
Adds a function to make your own .sps files (not .sas yet).
Minor Changes
Adds option to not coerce potentially numeric columns into numeric
type. Useful in cases like dealing with Census FIPS codes that have
leading zeros.
Miscellaneous bug fixes.
Fixes bug when missing values are an interval (e.g. -1 thru
-8).
asciiSetupReader 1.4.0
Adds capacity to the SPSS reader to handle Missing Values.
Fixes bug where function fails if no value-labels are detected.
Applies both when setup file has no value-labels and if only select
columns that have no value-labels.
