Well the import works for me... When commas are used for decimals, I think you need to
enable
locale-setting (Preferences - General, obvious checkbox), and answer correctly to the
import dialogs.
Another thing: It seems you have panel data. The way the csv file is imported, the panel
structure
is screwed up, but I believe the error is with the input format, not with gretl. But I
don't have
experience with that, so you need somebody else to help you with that.
good luck,

New subject: importing data
It's strange but I found the reason of my problems.
The data that I tried to open was on a different
partition of my hard drive. When I copy the file on
the same partition as gretl, it works fine. Do oberve
the same phenomenon ?

In fact, it is not a question of partition. I have
found the solution. The problem was with the the
directory in which the file was located. The directory
was called "bases de données". I changed it into
"bases de donnees" and it works perfectly. The problem
was with the character "é". It would be a good idea to
correct this in the next version of gretl

This is quite a ticklish issue. Can you tell us, please, what
version of gretl you're using, on what platform, and what your
"locale" setting is (on Linux you can get that by running
/usr/bin/locale)? Thanks.

Further info: I have tested with gretl 1.5.0 on Linux, using the
locale en_US.ISO8859-1. I'm able to open files files in a directory
named "bases de données" OK.
I did discover one problem, however: when you open a CSV file, you
get an auxiliary window with a report on the reading of the file.
In the case of files located in "bases de données" this window came
up blank, with an error message on the console saying that the text
did not validate as utf8. That's because the filename was being
presented to GTK in the locale encoding. This is now fixed in CVS.
