Hi Allan, and the Gretl team, I have encountered a few different repeatable crashes in the last few day. In this email I will only report the crash in reading a text file. Here is the script that caused the crash: string path = "path to my directory" string filename = "TestCrashFile.txt" string myname = path ~ filename string fileread = readfile(myname) strings aFiles = strsplit(fileread,"\n") #aFiles loop i=1..nelem(aFiles) if strlen(aFiles[i])>0 string myname = path ~ strstrip(aFiles[i]) string fileread = readfile(myname) #... #... endif endloop Here are the first few lines of the crash report: Process: gretl [22909] Path: /Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/MacOS/gretl Identifier: net.sourceforge.gretl Version: 2022a Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ???
