Thank you, Nick.
Your first loop works perfectly for me.

Emne: st: RE: Re: Re: Multiple paired ttests
Let's assume optimistically that the wildcard *mm
includes all the variables you want on one side.
You could do this:
foreach m of var *mm {
local f = substr("`m'",1,length("`m'")-1) + "f"
ttest `m' == `f'
}
The first line in the loop could also be
local f = reverse(substr(reverse("`m'"),2,.)) + "f"
but that's a bit of a backwards solution. You might
also consider
local f : subinstr local m "mm" "mf"
but that is more dangerous.
The multiple comparisons issue of firing a shotgun
in this way I leave on one side.
