Re: [Gretl-devel] really big data

it would be nice to be able to use gretl's "open" command in
a loop. This is not currently enabled (it may happen at some
point, but it wouldn't be trivial to implement).
Actually, not so difficult for gretlcli. That's now in CVS.
(But using "open" in a loop is problematic for the GUI
program.) So using gretlcli you can now do this sort of thing:
<hansl>
loop i=1..1000
open huge.txt --cols=$i --delimited --quiet
store huge.bin --database
endloop
</hansl>
