Trying the same thing in the console just gives a "data error". This was
a text file with a string-valued key column (countries) and semicolon as
the delimiter. When I changed the semicolons to commas, it works in the
console. I guess gretl's heuristics might see the semicolon as part of
the string value.
Sven, could you post (offlist if you like) the file in question?
