Re: [Gretl-users] loop, string substitution and varname from list
Many thanks,
I tried a slightly different version from yours:
--------
.... (see first comment)
scalar j = 0
loop foreach i xs
j++
print j
$i <- gnuplot $i ys[j]
endloop
--------
unfortunately it is not working. Also, what if I wanted to combine the var names of both
the items? Your option would not allow this. Is there now way to simply access the name of
a var by means of the name of the var?
Best
Frederik

Maybe something like this (untested):
loop foreach i xs
$i <- gnuplot $i ys[i]
endloop
Not sure the ys[i] would work inside this loop, though. Perhaps you would
have to use another index j, initialize that to 1 and increment manually via j++
at the end.
But definitely look up the doc for the foreach-variant of the loop.
cheers,
