Re: [Gretl-users] Sequential naming of variables

Hi All, I'm trying to find a way of generating variable names automatically. I have a list of share prices: share1, share2, ...., share12. I want to compute returns in a loop. Here is what I was doing: # Compute returns for all shares loop foreach i list_share ret_$i = 100 * (log(list_share.$i) - log(list_share.$i(-1))) endloop The above one would return the following variables: ret_share1, ret_share2,..., ret_share12. My question is simple: is there a way of controlling the name of the output variable in a different way than what is used above? I mean, how can I get output in variables with name: ret1, ret2,..., ret12? Is there any sequential command that can be added to ret*?
