-foreach- has the capability:

foreach i of numlist 3 7 8 10/30 35 37 80/100 104(2)110 113:115{
 arg concerning `i'
}

foreach i in 3 7 8 {

 worked fined but that was a simple example. I'd like to do the
following

foreach i in 3 7 8 10/30 35 37 80/100 {
      gen byte d`i' = strmatch(diag,"*D`i'*")
}
unfortunately foreach does not have this capability. Nor does forvalue.
Any more suggestions?
