Mingfeng,
I think the simplest way is to use excel transfer the string x1,x2,x3...
into numbers 0,0,1...and add them to get y.


Greetings!

I have tried to solve this myself with the reference, but no luck so
far.  My problem is to run a function on a string variable.  This is
the data that I have

Variable X:

x1,x2,x3
x1,x3
x2
x1,x3,x4,x5
x5,x6


I was tring to generate a dummy variable y=1 when x3 is contained in X
and 0 otherwise.  Is there a command to do this?

Thanks!

Mingfeng
