[Gretl-users] Re: String as array index

Here on latest git version running this <hansl> clear set verbose off strings a = null strings b = array(0) print a b # I think this is actually not supported # and does not really look like a proper array access catch a[""] eval $error catch b[""] eval $error # This is the way to go -- of course failing for an empty array catch a[0] eval $error catch a[1] eval $error catch b[0] eval $error catch b[1] eval $error </hansl> yields for each of those cases the error code 17. Actually, I am surprised about a two things: 1. That this actually works: "strings a = null" I thought only "array(0) works for initialisation. 2. That this command <a[""]> actually executes something. This, I would argue, is not valid indexation of a string array where the index should be a positive integer. Artur
