 Hello all, especially Jack who wrote the package!!!. 
 I run gretl2020d on Windows (I think last version of them). 
 Also I installed yahoo_get 3.0 
 When running yahoo_get.gfn sample script I get two "errors" 
 (1) It does not find the redhat ticker 
 ? series redhat = yahoo_price("RHT") # get Red Hat, adjusted price only
 Ticker RHT not found
 Generated series redhat (ID 1) 
 (2) it does not fill non-existent ticker with NAs (if that's the
 expected function here). I get the following
 ? series foo    = yahoo_price("ZZZ")   # a non-existent ticker will give
 NAs An error occurred when 'outfile' was active jsonget: failed to match 
 JsonPath *** error in function json2csv, line 1 
> dates = strsplit(jsonget(jsonbuf, "$.chart.result[0].timestamp[*]"),
"\n") 
 called by function write_tempfile called by function yahoo_price 
 Error executing script: halting 
> series foo    = yahoo_price("ZZZ")   # a non-existent ticker will give NAs
Thanks Yiannis, I'll try to fix the package asap.
