I guess I still have some thoughts and comments about the

Fine. I now have an improved prototype which I'm happy to
supply on request. It now has some proper error-checking, and
it adds "unit" and "time" series to the CSV file to make it
easier to get gretl to recognize the data as a panel.
OK, great. On and after Thursday or Friday I should have some
time for this. If you're not working on it until then, you might
as well send it now.
Alright. Hansl and toy test file attached.
Hmm, actually from the explanation in the guide I had a different
kind of input file in mind, namely something like the following
(also attached as a standalone file):
x1
1965 1970 1975 1980 1985
AR 100.0 110.5 118.7 131.2 160.4
AZ 100.0 104.3 113.8 120.9 140.6
x2
1965 1970 1975 1980 1985
AR 103.0 112.5 111.7 136.2 168.4
AZ 109.0 100.3 110.8 128.9 141.6
Your function fails on this kind of file. I have started some
string-processing work to handle this, but I'm having doubts -- what
are we really targeting? It would be helpful to have a real-world
example.
thanks,
