Thanks Nick for your help. Of course, after trying for
days to figure out a way to do this, I found my answer
almost immediately after posting my question.
You can use multiple commands in the 'repeat stata'
command by separating them with a \. Then one can
name each of the outreg files based on the outcome variable for
example:
for testa testb: regress X lead\ outreg using "X.doc"
for testa testb: regress X lead age gender\ outreg using "X.doc",
append
If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know.
>>> Indeed. This is what I meant by putting the -outreg-
inside the -for-.
However, to extend an earlier point, unless you
are using Stata 6 or earlier, -for- is going to
bite you if you get too fond of it.
-foreach- is the way to go and to grow.
foreach X in testa testb {
regress `v' lead age gender
outreg using "`X'.doc", append
}
There is stuff to learn, but long term this
is a much better construct. There is more
on why in Stata Journal 2(2), 202-222 (2002).
