st: extracting the variable name from e(wtype) container after regrress

[Wolfgang Langer <langer@soziologie.uni-halle.de>]

Dear Statslisters,

I have written a small program to calculate the 
goodness-of-fit-chi2-test after estimating a WLS -regression modell for 
tabulated data (GSK-approach). How can I extract the varname from the 
e(wexp) container to use it in my program?  Typing "dis  e(wexp)" I get 
only the  expression "=var name of  weighting variable" but  not the  
varnme itself. I need this to formulate my program gofchi2 mor generally.

Thank you  for your help

Wolfgang
