Dear Gretl community,


According to Gretl Command Reference:

When opening a spreadsheet file (Gnumeric, Open Document or XLS), you may give up to three
additional parameters following the filename. First, you can select a particular worksheet within
the file. This is done either by giving its (1-based) number, using the syntax, e.g., --sheet=2, or, if
you know the name of the sheet, by giving the name in double quotes, as in --sheet="MacroData".

When I try to use the syntax --sheet="dados (previsão)", I get the following error: Error executing script: halting. My
file is a Excel spreadsheet and I´m getting this problem on both Windows XP and Mac OS/X. What can I do to fix this?


Best,
