Re: [Gretl-devel] strings with several rows

I am trying to use the commands 'string stringname =

and after these commands I use 'print stringname' to see how the strings are
formed.
In both cases I am seeing the strings broken, for example at the middle of
the shell command output or at the midle of the imported file. Has the
'string' command a limit in the number of possible rows? is there any limit
in printing a string? or is it just a bug?
There's no fixed limit on the number of lines. I'm not seeing
any breakage in such strings here, on multi-line files or the
multi-line output from shell commands. Could you give an
example of something that goes wrong?
