You can do that with the extended macro functions, like in the
example below:
*--------------- begin example -------------
sysuse auto, clear
local regressors "price mpg foreign"
tokenize `regressors'
local nk : word count `regressors'
forvalues k = 1/`nk' {
local foo : list regressors - `k'
di "`foo'"
}
*-------------- end example ----------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Bottom line: you are now comming at a point where you
really need to look into all the wonderful things you
can do with the extended macro functions. You can read
about those by typing: -help extended_fcn- and in
particular -help macrolists-
Hope this helps,
Maarten
