[Gretl-devel] store or mwrite solution

I need to save in each iteration of a long loop an, in principle, unknown number of scalars. I tried saving all them in a matrix and writing it to disk with 'mwrite', but this is very time consuming because the matrix is very big. I think in this case could be more efficient to write it row by row to disk but 1) I cannot use 'mwrite' because in each iteration the matrix is ovewritten 2) I know that inside a loop the command 'store' can save some scalars in each iteration, but I don't know how to write the command for an unknown number of scalars, So I ask to our dear developers for some solution: a) Could be possible that the comand 'store' can allow for a row matrix as argument? b) or, could be possible to define a "list of scalars" command (slist) similar to the list of series? so I could use: slist myscalarlist += s_$i (in the loop) store myscalarlist c) or, finally could be possible to define a 'mwritea' (mwrite append) function so that the matrix written to disk in each iteration can be appended with to the data of the previous iterations ? -- Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza DEPARTAMENTO DE ECONOMÍA APLICADA III (ECONOMETRÍA Y ESTADÍSTICA) UPV/EHU Avda.
