Re: [Gretl-users] varnames in loop

thanks for replying. But it is not exactly what I need. In your example 'sprintf astr$i "%s", varname(i)' generates a string with the name of a variable with the ID 'i' from the loaded dataset. But I need a string with the name of the i'th variable in a list. For example, the following returns a string containing the names of the variables in the list in each round, but I need in the first round the name of the first variable in ttt, in the second round the name of the second variable in ttt and so on... <hansl> list ttt = LRM LRY scalar vars = nelem(ttt) loop i=1..vars print "$i" sprintf astr$i "%s", varname(ttt) printf "%s\n", astr$i endloop <hansl>
