[Gretl-users] issues with working on non-ASCII strings

Hi Allin and all, I know you guys are very busy and I don’t want to bother you with every question that I have. I looked into gretl documentations and searched in the email archive on this issue and can’t seems to find an answer for this. Here is a little test script and output: --------------------------------------------------------- gretl version 2019a-git Current session: 2019-02-13 10:26 # assign unicode text ? string teststring = "ΑΒΓΔ" Replaced string teststring ? string test = teststring[1] Replaced string test ? print test Α ? string teststring[1] = "Γ" Error executing script: halting ------------------------------------------------------------ two issues: 1.Those non-ascii character were pasted onto the scrip, for I can’t even enter them directly. 2. It seems that gretl handles the non-ascii character fine internally, but not on a scrip. Anyway to work around this? p.s. I’m not even sure the email that you see will show the right characters. Those are the first 4 characters of the Greek code page, i.e. UTF-8 CE91, CE92, CE93, & CE94. Fred
