Re: [Gretl-users] csv import bug on windows?

Hi sven, thanks for your efforts. Sorry for not putting the Gretl version. It is gretl-1.9.14-64 A bit more background knowledge: I became aware of this issue only when I gave Gretl assignments to my students. I generated CSV-files like the one I posted earlier with R and I suppose the encoding is UTF8. Some of my students then had other results than I had with R or Gretl. Then I figured out with one studente that the CSV file was not imported correctly as I described earlier (I dont know which windows version he had). I went to my virtual machine with Windows 7 64 Bit and Gretl 1.9.14-64 and I could replicate the problem. I suppose my students have the same gretl version because I told them to download the latest release. Could it be possible that the source of the problem is the encoding? If so, which encoding do you recommend such that there is no issue on any platform (in particular both Mac and Windows?) I have over 150 students and it would be very important for me to resolve this issue.
