[Gretl-users] How to insert variable labels?

Henrique wrote: A couple of recent tweaks in CVS (to the sscanf function and the setinfo command) make this a bit easier than before. Example follows, where we assume that labels.txt contains one variable label per line, for each of the substantive variables in the dataset. <script> nulldata 10 series x1 = normal() series x2 = normal() series x3 = normal() series x4 = normal() string labeltext = readfile("labels.txt") string vname, label loop i=2..5 -q sscanf(labeltext, "%63[^\n]", label) setinfo i -d "@label" labeltext = labeltext + strlen(label) + 1 endloop </script> (BTW, apologies for not replying "properly"; my university email account is screwed up at the moment so I'm resorting to gmail.) -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University
