Dear Statalisters,
I have multiple (more than 20) Excel-format files, named like
mat1983.xls, mat1984.xls etc.
And I'd like to convert them into Stata-format ones using
StatTransfer. But it is tedious to do so one by one.
The Stat/Transfer command processor allows wildcard transfers so:
copy mat*.xls *.dta
will work. This can also be done from the OS command line as in:
st mat*.xls *.dta
or from within Stata with stcmd:
stcmd mat*.xls *.dta.
Best,
Steve
