[Gretl-devel] new feature for string-valued series

Let me point out a new feature in git and snapshots: you can now create a string-valued series directly from an array of strings, subject to the requirement that the length of the array matches either the length of the dataset or the current sample range. Here are two examples: <hansl> # string-valued series from scratch nulldata 8 strings S = defarray("a", "b", "c", "b", "a", "d", "b", "e") series sx = S series x = sx # numeric codes print sx x --byobs # convert observation markers to a series open data4-10 markers --to-array=S series state = S print state --byobs </hansl> Allin
