Dear Henrique,
you have to simply follow the syntax. Take a look at Chapter 9 in the User's Guide
(Help/User's guide in the menu). Simple example on page 60 will help!
Best wishes
Daniel

Subject: Re: [Gretl-users] Loop question
Dear Riccardo, Kehl and Artur,
Thanks a lot for your help! I'd tried all the options you gave me and
my final script looks like this:
<script>
scalar n=0
loop for (n=6;n<=24;n=n*2) --quiet
scalar m = $T - n + 1
loop j=2..nelemY --quiet
matrix R$n_$j = zeros(m,1)
loop i=1..m --quiet
loop c=1..n --quiet
row = i + n - c
R$n_$j[i] += r$j[row, c]
endloop
endloop
endloop
matrix mci$n = R$n_2 + R$n_3
endloop
</script>
Now, because I just need the values for 6, 12 and 24, I'm trying to
substitute the second line "loop for (n=6;n<=24;n=n*2)" for this:
loop for (n=6;n=12;n=24)
But the script isn't working. Any hints?
Best regards,
Henrique

Or, if your index is something like of a geometric series as it seems
to
be (let's say 6, 12, 24, 48, and so on) and too long to do manually
you can try this one:
<script>
scalar count=0
loop for (count=6;count<=24;count=count*2) --quiet
<instructions>
endloop
<\script>
cheers,
artur
