Re: [Gretl-users] bug? with string substitution

Hi all, I was revisiting some code I wrote a few years ago, and came across what is at least changed (and unexpected) behavior. I have a script that loops over various numbers of possible structural breaks, and does some MCMC sampling for each value. I want to write the mcmc draws to separate data sets labeled by the number of breaks. Here's what I originally had: <hansl> loop ii=1..breaks --quiet Nbreaks = ii-1 # do a bunch of stuff loop draws = 1..ndraws -quiet -progressive # Do MCMC stuff rhohat = (draw from posterior) # now save the draws sprintf fname "rho_%d.gdt", nbreaks store "@fname" rhohat endloop endloop </hansl> This worked fine for me when I wrote it. However currently with the latest Windows snapshot, after the first time through the loop, gretl stores successive data sets under the name &quot;(a)fname.gdt&quot;. The string is being updated properly, but not parsed by the store command. If I insert the line blah = "@fname" between the sprintf and store commands, everything works fine.
