Hi there,
Couple things I noticed in using Gretl on my Mac.
First is it localized to Japanese for some reason on install. I was able to
poke around and change it to English. My system is in English and so not
sure why it didn't read that correctly.
Second I noticed that there was recently code added (07/23) to handle
quotations on importing CSVs. I have a CSV with names in it and some names
have quotations (like O'Brien). For now I can delete that column but
perhaps worth adding an option to ignore quotations.
Thanks,
Guy Krug

I've seen surprising language choices on Mac a few times before. Could
you tell us what you see if you open a Terminal window and execute the
following two lines?
echo $LANG
locale

We'll look into that. It might be helpful if you could send me a copy
of the CSV in question so I can see exactly what's happening.

Thanks for reporting.

We actually had a bug report a couple of months back from a user with
the same problem. The workaround to delete the Japanese (and other?)
language environment did help, but of course is not a real fix. Strange
thing, we'll keep an eye open.

I'm not sure if that counts as a quotation in the sense of what was
added. (I don't remember.) It's an apostrophe character (we sometimes
have similar things in German) but not a quotation mark which should
usually come in pairs.
Anyway, if you could respond to Allin's previous question about your
language settings that would be helpful.
cheers,
sven
