Re: [Gretl-users] a list in a bundle?

So I was getting curious and this is what I came up with so far: The following code transfers the list to the bundle, so that the number of the series is stored within the bundle (as a scalar under the key "testlist_nelem"), the series themselves are stored (under the keys "testlist_serX", where X was the position of the series in the list), and finally the original names of the series are also stored in the bundle, as strings (under the keys "testlist_nameX"). In principle one should be able to wrap this in a function, I guess. cheers, sven <hansl> nulldata 100 list testlist = dataset # so far the only series will be 'index' bundle proto # populate the bundle with the list contents n = nelem(testlist) proto["testlist_nelem"] = n loop i=1..n sprintf serieskey "testlist_ser%d", i sprintf namekey "testlist_name%d", i proto[namekey] = "$i" # saves the original name of the series proto[serieskey] = i # saves the series endloop # how to retrieve those series m = proto["testlist_nelem"] loop i=1..m series newser$i = proto["testlist_ser$i"] string message = "Retrieved copy of '" ~ proto["testlist_name$i"] ~ "'." print "@message" endloop </hansl>
