Hi,
concerning the heuristics gretl uses when parsing formatted text data: I
just had a case with tab-delimited data where gretl gave up, and all I
had to do is to replace all tabs with semicolons.
The other format information: daily dates were given as dd.mm.yyyy, the
decimal separator was a comma. The date column had the label "Date".
I'm not saying this is a bug and I know heuristics can never be perfect.
Just wanted to let you know that gretl was almost getting there, there
was only one step left.
cheers,
sven
