thank you!

If I am working with a weekly workfile, is there a way to code for a sample that contains all weeks containing the first friday of the month?

Thank you Gareth. Now I feel especially idiotic. I thought I had tried something like that to no avail. At the risk of feeling yet more foolish, why is that asterisk not read as a wildcard? Thanks vm again.

I have a string with elements like:

WALMEX*_MM

Forgive the dumb question, but how do I write a line that will get rid of that asterisk?

thank you very much

Hi, I think the last build (or maybe the one before that) introduced a problem with this. I'm using EViews 10+ (64 bit) on Windows 10 and when I use the following from a program or the command pane, Eviews crashes: graphname.setelem(1) symbol(1) symsize(2) Had no problem with this until recently; no...

Steve -- apologies for my delay in getting you a file, but good news: the latest build appears to have resolved the issue. thank you!

Thank you Steve -- it was indeed something with the update because everything is fine again. Can I send you a file over the next day or two outside of the forum, as soon as I get the time? thank you!

Hi -- the new patch seem to be crashing eviews when I run certain programs -- is there a way to roll back to a previous patch?

haha. oh boy. it is clearly miller time ... thanks gareth... got a little stuck there!

Forgive me Gareth but I just realized it won't work. I posed my problem incorrectly; apologies. My starting string is this: "_GDP_OLDSTUFF_18 _GDP_OLDSTUFF_122 _GDP_NEWSTUFF_50" and the output i need is this string: "_GDP_OLDSTUFF_ _GDP_NEWSTUFF_" so what i need is just way to dr...

thank you

Hi, Could someone help me understand why I'm failing at this? I have a string with these contents: _GDP_STUFF_158 _GDP_STUFF_20 _CPI_STUFF_120 _CPI_STUFF_1 I'd like to make a new string consisting only of two elements: "_GDP_STUFF_" and "_CPI_STUFF_". My strategy was to use @wrep...

trubador,

thank you for this add-in. regarding procedures for time-series data, you mention there are better ways -- before i write something from scratch, is there a thread or another package you would recommend i look at? (i've searched but found anything that seems to be right.)

I can't get it to work if I want to produce a mixed graph with an area band. If I run this code in EViews 8, I get an auto-updating graph, with the first two series forming the area band: graph grz.band(l) series1 series2 series3 series4 series5 grz.setupdate(auto) If I run the same code in EViews 9...
