You might want to try David Elliott's -chunky- or Roy Wada's
-chewfile-. Use -findit chunky- or -findit chewfile- to locate and
download.

I'd like to load a very large ASCII .csv file into a .dta Stata file but it keeps bumping up against the 1.1g memory limit and Stata suggests I "drop some observations or variables." My question is how one can load just a portion of an ASCII file--for example, the specific variables of interest, or only those observations where variable1=xyz--so as to end up with a more manageable Stata file.
