Hi, here's another thing that I just found which might be strange; see
this minimal example script:
<hansl>
set echo off
outfile markercheck.txt
printf "\"United Kingdom\""
end outfile
nulldata 1
markers --from-file=markercheck.txt
</hansl>
This works without errors, but when I double-click on the index series I
see as the obs marker the following literal string with only opening,
but not closing, quotes:
"United Kingdom
Somehow this looks troublesome, no?
And while we're talking about obs markers, here's also a newbie-style
question: Wouldn't it be good if the obs markers could also be set from
a series which is already in place? I guess quite often such a
pseudo-series containing the labels of the observations will already
exist, but for gretl the markers play a special role. Right now I think
one would have to save such a seriles to a file somehow and then reload
it with "markers --from-file..." - or is there another way?
thanks
