Re: [Gretl-users] graph is crazy

That was also the case with the previous file. I think the difference is
coming from the representation of dates, which was in the canonical form
YYYY-MM-DD in the previous file but is in the form DD.MM.YYYY in the
current one. I guess gretl is getting confused due to the need for
multiple passes through the data: the pass to fix the dates is somehow
interfering with the pass to fix the thousands separators.
Not sure if I'm suggesting things that already exist, but for these
complicated/non-standard files why not give the user a chance to specify
all these peculiarities (various separators, date format...), instead of
trying to teach gretl to figure it all out herself?
cheers,
