Re: [Gretl-users] Creating matrix rownames from varname(X)

I'm stumped on this one. I want to be able to automate the

varname(xlist) produces a string with commas separating the names, but the
rownames command wants spaces instead of commas. So far I haven't been able
to get a proper string to use with rownames using loops.

I presume you mean colnames() in this context. As per the help
for colnames, you can just give the name of the list:
<hansl>
open broiler
list xlist = const 2 3 4 5
matrix X = { xlist }
colnames(X, xlist)
</hansl>
However, if you need to swap out commas for spaces, you can
use strsub(). Go to /Help/Function reference and look under
"Strings" for related functions.
