As is, I need to save each dataset manually, and it is a bit time consuming when there are more than just a few students. I wish I can do this through a script, perhaps using gretlcli to do that, if any of you can suggest a way. You're talking about a gretl session file, not just a dataset (which is easily saved via script using either the GUI program or gretlcli, using the "store" command). Saving a session file via gretlcli is inherently impossible since that program has no notion of a "session", no named models or graphs. However, saving a session file via the command-line (script or console) in the GUI program, while it has not been possible before, is now implemented in git and snapshots. You use the "store" command, giving the name of the file to be saved the suffix ".gretl", as in store session01.gretl Note, though, that you cannot specify a list of series to save (as in standard "store" usage) -- or if you do, the effect is to save a gretl dataset (in the strict sense). with ".gdt" appended to whatever filename was given. There's no provision in session-saving to subset the existing series, though of course you can achieve that effect by deleting some series before doing the save. Here's a trivial example of the new usage: <hansl> open data4-1 m1 <- ols 1 0 2 g1 <- gnuplot price sqft store mysession.gretl </hansl> Allin ------------------------------
