Asunto: st: how to cut string variables
Dear Statalist,
I am trying to cut a variable so that I just keep the string portion
of it. I have search the help for various options but it seems if you
don't have a uniform stub you can't cut.
For example: my variable is:
Id Rank
1 A2
2 B3
3 D5
4 E10
5 A1
6 B3
...
What I would like to create a variable as follows: dummy=1 if rank
contains "b"
How can I do this simply so I don't have to either cut or split the
variable (at least I can't figure out how to do this).
Any help would be much appreciated.
