[Gretl-users] How to delete a series in a loop?

Hello, I need to delete a series inside a loop. Is there a way to do this? What I am doing is loading data on a country, process the data, save some results, replace the data with the next country's in my data set. Below is my code that does not work: loop i = 1..numcountry cc = strsplit(ccode,i) append "(a)datafile.xlsx" --time-series --sheet="@cc" --coloffset=0 --rowoffset=1 #Do some stuff delete Q* # yields an error delete R* # would yield an error if previous line did not end loop This of course yields the error: You cannot delete series in this context I understand that delete does not work in a loop, but is there a work around? Or a better way to handle repeated processes? Thanks, Logan
