Could you elaborate on your constraints please? It seems that you
can produce and retrieve log files, so why can't you use
-outreg- combined with an ascii log, and also have in the do file a
command that does a system call to -type- the outreg file (the
output of which would be echoed to the log)? (Alternatively, if you can
retrieve log files, why can't you retrieve files that -outreg- would
write?)
In hindsight this is clearly what I should have done, but absent going back
overseas and rerunning everything I am now stuck with what I did, which was
to make smcl log files. Next time I will be wiser, but at this point it
would be faster to type the tables by hand than to make a special trip to
rerun models for that purpose (apart from all the other reasons I can't
just pop over.) But I would like to avoid typing by hand.
I realize this is an idiosyncratic request, and expect to have to figure it
out myself. But Statalist often surprises.
Thanks,
