Hello everybody (I'm new to this list, though in the past I interacted with the bug tracker), my ideal workflow with gretl (1.9.5, Debian GNU/Linux) is 1) play with data and find out what should be done 2) finally build a nice .inp file which does everything needed 3) run it: it saves to files everything which must be included in the final .tex 4) the .tex has "\input"s and "\includegraphics"s which include the result of gretl running - so just compile it I like this both because I'm sure I can reproduce everything I finally write, and because I do not have to change numbers everywhere in the report if my data or my way of processing them changes slightly. Unfortunately, I have two problems at step 3): 1) what seems to me a bug: ? tabprint -f "/home/pietro/prova.tex" Model printed to /home/pietro/model_1.tex Notice the wrong filename. That is even more annoying because - correct me if I'm wrong - the commandline/script interface is the only way to save a LaTeX table _not_ as a complete document, but as something embeddable in an existing one. 2) what is either a whishlist feature, or a proof of my blindness in reading the manuals: if, as it seems to me, the only way of writing to a file (apart from LaTeX output) is the command "output", then it doesn't help me, because if I do outfile /home/pietro/my_file --write print result outfile --close then "my file" will contain: ? print result result = 4317.0000 ? outfile --close while I would like just the number. Is there a way to just say "save this number to this file [with this format]"? Or some script/best practice in using placeholders and parsing gretl output to build the final .tex file? Or should I look at py4gretl for that? Thanks in advance for any clarification (and for the great app). Pietro
