Title

[R] doedit -- Edit do-files and other text files

Syntax

doedit [filename]

Menu

Window > Do-file Editor

Description

doedit opens a text editor that lets you edit do-files and other text files.

The Do-file Editor lets you submit several commands to Stata at once.

Remarks

Clicking on the Do-file Editor button is equivalent to typing doedit.

doedit, typed by itself, invokes the Editor with an empty document. If you specify filename, that file is displayed in the Editor.

You may have more than one Do-file Editor open at once. Each time you submit the doedit command, a new window will be opened.

A tutorial discussion of doedit can be found in the Getting Started with Stata manual. Read [U] 16 Do-files for an explanation of do-files, and then read [GSM] 13 Using the Do-file Editor---automating Stata, [GSU] 13 Using the Do-file Editor---automating Stata, or [GSW] 13 Using the Do-file Editor---automating Stata to learn how to use the Do-file Editor to create and execute do-files.
