Subject: Drop variables based on variable label
Hi All,
Is there a way to drop variables based on variable label?
I have some variables (which are redundant) whose variable label start with 'rs'.
E.g.
var label
v1 rs12
v2 s13
v3 rs14
v4 rs17
v5 s15
...........
.......
....
I want to drop the variables whose label starts with rs (v1, v3, v4,...).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Joey
