Re: [Gretl-devel] problem with -= in a function

Yes it seems 'inlist()' has some problems. For example also 'eval inlist(a, "s")' works (for 'a' as a defined list), although according to the doc a string as second argument wouldn't be allowed (should be an identifier or an ID number). The whole thing doesn't seem to be limited to "time", it's rather a general issue about inlist() in functions -- the 'a.s' notation works in one case but not in the other, and vice versa for the 's' notation.

Slightly OT: What are you trying to do, Artur? As a workaround you could perhaps use: if strstr(varname(rxlist), "time") != "" (untested).
