Thank you! It would be great if the option to just select standard DHS was available.

Until then, what I am currently doing is close to what you describe. I take the country code and version number from both the file name and from within the data set itself (since that helps catch/remove the individual Indian state files). The script uses those to select the relevant variables by phase.

Is there a way to identify whether a given survey comes from a special DHS or a standard DHS from within the data? It appears that the version numbering is in chronological order, so, for example, the Dominican Republic special DHS are named 5A and 6A because they came after the standard ones for the respective phases. Alternatively, is there a file that identifies surveys as either special or standard DHSs?
