Re: [Gretl-users] csv import bug on windows?

Dear Gretl users,
sorry for bothering you. I found it out myself; I guess it is an issue
of portability between operation systems (in particular Linux to
windows) and with file encoding/line endings of text files.
That's actually what I had thought first, but...
Here in particular, it was the file ending of the csv-files that caused
the problem. I now generate the CSV file so that it has the windows file
ending (encoding is now ASCII/CRLF), see attached file.
your earlier file also had the Windows line endings (CRLF), so it seemed
that that was not the issue.
Now the error disappeared and everything works fine, also under windows.
In any case, I was under the impression that gretl would import/accept
text files regardless of the platform-specific line endings. (not 100%
sure though)
So there may still be something there, perhaps also specific to the
experimental 64-bit version of gretl on Win that you're using
apparently. Could you try the precise file you sent to the list first
(re-grab it from the message attachment) if it really works?
cheers,
sven
