Fill a matrix with scalars

[olsisthebest]

I have 100 scalars and I want to put them into a column vector.
How can I do it with a loop?
Thank you.

Code: Select all

for !i=1 to 100 v(!i) = s!i next

Thank you, but the scalars dont have an ordinal name.
Their name do not reflect any order. Is there any alternative?

[EViews Gareth]

Are there only those 100 scalars in the workfile, or are there other scalars too?

[olsisthebest]

There are 300 scalars.
I want to fill 3 matrices with 3 different loops.
Why do you ask? If there was only 100 scalares the procedure will be different?
Thank you, Gareth.

Well if there is no naming pattern, how do you imagine EViews will know which ones to put where? The only way to do it is to manually assign if there is no logical pattern. Note you can use vector.fill to speed things up a little.

I was thinking in put the scalars name into a string and then loop over the string.

It is possible?

[EViews Gareth]

Sure, but easier just to use fill.

[olsisthebest]

Thank you.
It is possible to use wild cards in vector.fill argument? The scalars begin with the same letters.

[EViews Gareth]

No.
