Hi guys,
I am sending this message to seek help in stata. In
fact, I am cleaning the data for a research project I
am involved in. I'd like to create an index from a
variable which is a pseudo numeric or a string(numeric
as well character). This index will allow me to
eliminate some observations in the dataset. To give
you an idea, the variable I termed codeks is as
follows:
codeks:101 102 01A 01X 0AX ...103 ... 111 112 ...11111
I'd like to create an index that assigns 1 if codeks
includes A or X or AX and 0 otherwise. I have done
this in other programs. In one program for instance,
this can be done as:
found=indexc(codeks,"A","X")
I will really appreciate your help. I have spent more
than 3 hours without success.
Thank you.
Badi
