Dear Gretl' users:
I am trying to use the batch mode in Gretl, but the redirection to a file, is not working.
That is, the instruction:
gretlcli - b scriptfile
really works because for a moment the screen shows the results. But when I type:
h:/tmp/name_of_file
the place where I intend to write the results, nothing is writing in it.
To be precise, here is my example.
gretlcli -b pisos.inp >h:/tmp/pisos.txt
With pisos.inp:
open h:/curso11-12B/econometriaII/familyHouses.txt
ols price const sqft bedrms baths
series res = $uhat
corrgm res
The familyHouses.txt is the Ramanathan data:
price sqft bedrms baths
199.9 1065 3 1.75
228 1254 3 2
235 1300 3 2
285 1577 4 2.5
239 1600 3 2
293 1750 4 2
285 1800 4 2.75
365 1870 4 2
295 1935 4 2.5
290 1948 4 2
385 2254 4 3
505 2600 3 2.5
425 2800 4 3
415 3000 4 3
My working directory is: h:/curso11-12B/econometriaII
Gretl works because, I repeat, on the screen, for a second, the results show up. But
nothing is written in h:/tmp/pisos.txt
I have repeated the experiment many times, but without success. Is this a bug in Gretl?
Thanking you for your attention and help, I am sincerely yours
