Dear Gretl Team, We can use the option "--preserve" with the "open" command to preserve matrices and scalars. I would like to ask you if it is possible to include strings too (so the "preserve" option will preserve matrices, scalars, and strings).

Dear Allin, Finally I wrote a small script that shows the problem with the "--preserve" option (after using "run" and "open" commands the strings are deleted). Please save the ."inp" files into the Gretl's working directory and execute the "Problem with preserve option.inp" script. 2015-01-14 19:40 GMT-02:00 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;: > On Wed, 14 Jan 2015, Henrique Andrade wrote: > >> Em 14 de janeiro de 2015, Allin escreveu: >> >>> On Wed, 14 Jan 2015, Henrique Andrade wrote: >>> >>>> Dear Gretl Team, >>>> >>>> We can use the option "--preserve" with the "open" command to preserve >>>> matrices and scalars.
