To me (2022a, Win 64) the message says

...Found 4 double-quotes, max 4 per line
Assuming double-quote is the relevant quotation character
using delimiter '  '...

and behaves in the same way, i.e. using the space to separate labels and consequently naming the first series as <<These>>, the second as <<are>>, and ignoring the "just two series" altogether.

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
