Title
[P] viewsource -- View source code
Syntax
viewsource filename
Description
viewsource searches for filename along the adopath and displays the file
in the Viewer. No default file extension is provided; if you want to
see, for example, kappa.ado, type viewsource kappa.ado.
Remarks
Say that you wish to look at the source for ml. You know that ml is an
ado-file, and therefore the filename is ml.ado. You type
. viewsource ml.ado
program is not implemented as an ado-file:
. viewsource program.ado
file "program.ado" not found
r(601);
By the way, you can find out where the file is stored by typing
. findfile ml.ado
C:\Program Files\Stata10\ado\updates/m/ml.ado
See [P] findfile.
viewsource is not limited to displaying ado-files. If you wish to see,
for example, panelsetup.mata, type
. viewsource panelsetup.mata
