Hi Allin and other contributors to gretl,
I found a strange behavior of gretl.
If the .gdt data file had an “&” in the file name, once I open it, save some models
in the session, and then save the session as .gretl file, I can’t open it later.
The error message reads "xmlReadFile failed on
/Users/fred/.gretl/.test/session.xml"
The same dataset without the “&” in the file name is fine.
I'd say, yes, this is likely a bug. At the same time, I would always
recommend against those special characters in file names if you're in
the position to avoid them, even though they might be formally allowed.
cheers
