# Read another file format Acquire / file read any other file format (SAS, SPSS, Stata, PDF, YAML, logs) Page: ## Status Not built yet. arcform does not do this yet. [Its place on the roadmap](https://meridian.online/roadmap#read-another-file-format) ## Variants - [Read a BI extract file](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-bi-extract-file): Read the data held in an extract file written by a business-intelligence tool. - [Read a configuration file](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-configuration-file): Read a YAML, TOML, properties or INI file into rows. - [Extract text from documents](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/extract-text-from-documents): Pull the text, tables or metadata out of PDF, Word and other documents. - [Read a geospatial file](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-geospatial-file): Read features and their geometry from shapefiles, GeoJSON, geodatabases and tile sets. - [Read a text file line by line](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-text-file-line-by-line): Read a text file into a single string column with one row per line. - [Parse log files](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/parse-log-files): Read web server, system and event logs into records, often with named patterns. - [Read images, audio or video](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-images-audio-or-video): Load image, audio or video files as pixels, samples or frames. - [Read a machine-learning data file](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-machine-learning-data-file): Read training data and numeric arrays from formats such as ARFF, TFRecord, NumPy and HDF5. - Read another specialised format: Read one of the many formats that only one or two tools support, such as mailboxes, MARC, HL7 or Protocol Buffers. - [Read a table saved by a data tool](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-table-saved-by-a-data-tool): Read back a table or project stored in a data tool's own saved format. - [Read a statistics package file](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-statistics-package-file): Read a data file saved by a statistics package, such as SAS, SPSS, Stata or R, into a table. - [Read a whole file as one value](https://meridian.online/operations/read-another-file-format/read-a-whole-file-as-one-value): Read each file unparsed into a single text or binary value, one row per file. ## What other tools call it Meridian's classification; an independent blind rating agreed on 86.2% of 312 rows (exact class, version 2). -
