Is there a way to read in command line arguments into a Gretl script?

Question

I want to be able to pass in arguments to a Gretl script from the command line/bash script.

Alternatively, if I open Gretl from a bash script, is there a way to then output commands from the bash script to the gretl console in the terminal window?

Answer 1

Turns out this is not possible. Ended up having to print to, and read from a text file in order to pass multiple arguments.

My recommendation is to never ever use Gretls command line function. It has quite a nice GUI to mess around, but if you want to use such a library as part of an application, use R.
