Dear all,
I have a dataset with 400+ variables. Let's say I want to delete 300 of
them. If I select those 300 and press delete, gretl complains that
too many variables have been selected. Is there a way to get around this
issue (not selecting and delete every time around 100
variables)?
My second question is that once those 100 variables have been selected and
gretl asks for confirmation of deletion, the list of
to be deleted variables goes beyond the right edge of the screen and I need
to move the window to the left few times before the "OK"
button becomes visible. Is this something that occurs on my system or is it
a normal behaviour of gretl?

1) create a list with the variables you want to delete (using
/Data/Define or edit list), for example with name "mylist"
2) go to "tools/gretl console" and write there "delete mylist".
This works with not so many variables, may be it works for you?

Thank you,
Your solution seems to work, but only partially. I do manage to create a
list with say 300 variables and then
to delete it, but the main window of gretl seems not to get updated, that
is: while in the console I receive the
confirmation that the variables have been deleted and remaining variables
have been renumbered, this fact
is not reflected in the main window of gretl, which still lists all 400+
variables. Furthermore, if I click on one of
those "deleted" variables in the main window, gretl crashes.
I use Windows XP SP2 with gretl version 1.9.1cvs.

For now
/Data/Refresh Window
may help you. But I think our dear developers will have to think how to
avoid the crash you mentioned.

Dear Sergei, this is the normal behaviour (I get it using Gretl for Mac OS/X
and Windows Vista). But in my humble opinion I think it would be good if we
have a more compact window (with more than one line).
