Re: [Gretl-devel] set list in array

I can't find it now, but I think Sven posted a comment not so

about setting a list within an array. IIRC the point was that the
following did not work when it seemed like it should:
Hi Allin, I don't remember it myself right now. However, in the recent
thread about "variable selection" I wrote:
"And slightly OT about gretl internals: Along the way I've noticed two
things. The first is that the deflist() function doesn't accept a vector
of series IDs as input, in the way that genr-based list construction
like "list L = {1,2}" does; maybe deflist should accept that.
The second thing is that it would be nice to have a generalization of
the varnum() function, to return a vector of series IDs for a list
input. See my workaround helper function listIDs in the file. (This
would be a bit like the generalization of varname to varnames, for
example.)"
open somedata.gdt
lists LL = array(3)
LL[1] = 1 2 3 # incompatible types error
Anyway, the intent was indeed that this should work, and now in
today's git it does.
Thanks anyway, whether or not I had mentioned that :-)
cheers,
sven
