[Gretl-devel] Missing examples: improving Gretl documentation

Dear Gretl Team, I'm restarting to write the "missing" examples for Gretl functions and commands (please take a look at this thread http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2012-November/004088.html) and I would like to hear from you if the following examples fit our "quality standard" (if yes I will edit the XML files in CVS): <hansl> # Missing examples ### colname ### matrix A = { 11, 23, 13 ; 54, 15, 46 } colnames(A, "Col_A Col_B Col_C") string name = colname(A, 3) print name ### nlines ### string web_page = readfile("http://gretl.sourceforge.net/") scalar number = nlines(web_page) print number ### readfile ### string web_page = readfile("http://gretl.sourceforge.net/") print web_page string current_settings = readfile(&quot;(a)dotdir/.gretl2rc&quot;) print current_settings ### strlen ### string s = "regression" scalar number = strlen(s) print number ### strsplit ### string basket = "banana apple jackfruit orange" strings fruits = strsplit(basket) eval fruits[1] eval fruits[2] eval fruits[3] eval fruits[4] string favorite = strsplit(basket, 3) eval favorite ### strstr ### string s1 = "Gretl is an econometrics package" string s2 = strstr(s1, "an") print s2 ### strstrip ### string s1 = " A lot of white space. " string s2 = strstrip(s1) print s1 s2 ### strsub ### string s1 = "Hello, Gretl!" string s2 = strsub(s1, "Gretl", "Hansl") print s2 ### substr ### string s1 = "Hello, Gretl!" string s2 = substr(s1, 8, 12) print s2 string s3 = substr("Hello, Gretl!", 8, 12) print s3 ### tolower ### string s1 = "Hello, Gretl!" string s2 = tolower(s1) print s2 string s3 = tolower("Hello, Gretl!") print s3 ### toupper ### string s1 = "Hello, Gretl!" string s2 = toupper(s1) print s2 string s3 = toupper("Hello, Gretl!") print s3 ### varname ### open broiler.gdt string s = varname(7) print s ### varnames ### open keane.gdt list L = year wage status strings S = varnames(L) eval S[1] eval S[2] eval S[3] </hansl> Best, Henrique Andrade
