Hi Sven,

many thanks!  I am hopefully on the right track, now.

Best

Betreff: Re: [Gretl-users] function - pass global string variable via pointer

values I can also load, say as defaults in the function header, to other functions (b). Finally (c), is there an option to define pointer-type string variables and pass pointers to a string?

I'm not sure I understand the (c) question. If you mean something like the following, this works:

<hansl>
function void sp(string *s)
    print s
    s = "new content"
    print s
end function

string s1 = "hello"
sp(&s1)
printf "outside: %s", s1
</hansl>

hth,
