Re: [Gretl-devel] an issue with Octave export/import

I guess it hasn't been used in a long time, because the crasher bug stared me in the face when I looked at the code: it was a sure crash regardless of the content of the file. That's now fixed in git. Anyway, our ability to import data from .m files is basically limited to those written by gretl -- and the data come in as a dataset, not a matrix. I think it was the right move to delete Octave from the GUI list of import formats, but this will now work OK (apart from losing the dates in the original data): <hansl> open bjg store bjg.m --gnu-octave open bjg.m print -o </hansl> Allin
