Hi all:
I’m working within the Windows2000 OS and am having trouble getting paths
and filenames stored in local macros properly.
.local pathvar "F:\CELS\"
.local filename "35051403"
.local longname `pathvar'`filename'
.di “`longname’”
F:\CELS35051403 ←Stata output
The problem is that the final \ gets dropped from the path.
.di "`pathvar'"
F:\CELS\
Oddly, the initial macro seems to store this correctly
Changing the longname macro construction to...
.local longname `pathvar'`filename'
.di “`longname’”
F:\CELS35051403
...no effect
Any suggestions?
