[Gretl-users] Questions about strings and string substitution

Hello, Question about strings and string substitution. Why does option 1 yield different output from option 2 (see below). I am using 1.9.14 on Win 7 64bit hansel: #option 1 s = "1\n2\n3\n" printf "@s" #option 2 printf "1\n2\n3\n" OUTPUT: gretl version 1.9.14 Current session: 2014-04-22 23:49 #option 1 ? s = "1\n2\n3\n" Replaced string s ? printf "@s" 1\n2\n3\n #option 2 ? printf "1\n2\n3\n" 1 2 3 Thanks, Logan
