I am attempting to use outreg2 but I would like to report a limited
set of covariates. I have factor variables in my regression, and
they seem to be ignored by the options in outreg. In the example
below, for instance, i.foreign##c.weight is not reported.
sysuse auto, clear
regress mpg i.foreign##c.weight i.rep78 headroom
outreg2 using myfile, keep(i.foreign##c.weight headroom)
sortvar(headroom i.foreign##c.weight)
This isn't quite right but it may be closer to what you want.
outreg2 using myfile, keep(1.foreign#c.weight headroom)
sortvar(headroom i.foreign#c.weight)
Personally, I tend to avoid the ## notation and instead write stuff like
regress mpg i.foreign weight i.foreign#c.weight i.rep78 headroom
It may take more typing but it helps me to keep straight what I am
doing. Plus, in various post-estimation commands, you often have to
write things like 1.foreign rather than i.foreign. Look at how the
regress command labeled each line of the output.
