One other thing, I don't see a readily obvious way to run gretl in batch like mode. To get this to work I need to be able to do something like call gretl, feed it the regression request, point it to the data and have the data saved as a csv file somewhere all without user interaction. Did I miss that this is not possible in the manual?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

I'll look into it, but I think it will be easier to just write the script to pull data from the csv and plop it onto a sheet in the excel spread sheet.

Thanks,

You may be already aware of this, but gnumeric (also available for Win32
if you need it) provides a command-line tool called ssconvert that will
take a csv file produced by gretl and turn it into a perfectly legit xls
file.

You may either write a script that calls ssconvert, call ssconvert from
within gretl via "!" or, better still, rip the C code from gnumeric and
incorporate it into gretl if you really need this functionality badly.
