[Gretl-users] Re: import problem with quotes in text data files

Hi, attached is a minimal example file. There are two data columns (no observation column), and because the blank (space) is the column separator, the column headings are enclosed in double quotes at the source. (I did not make up this format.) Gretl imports the data alright, but kind of ignores the double quotes, treating the first two space-separated words as the names, which gives totally wrong headings after the first one. The only workaround that I can see is to manually replace the interior blanks with underscores or something like that? Note that during the import gretl tells me that it "treats double quotes as significant", whatever that means. Of course gretl cannot get every weird text file format right, but at the same time AFAIK it is impossible to provide some helpful hints how to interpret the contents. thanks sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list --gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email togretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website:https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
