["Lee Chuntao" <chtl@econ.hku.hk>]

Dear all, 

          I have a variable of the following style:

          variable 
           name1/age1/salary1
           name2/age2/salary2
           name3/age3/salary3
           name4/age4/salary4

I want to generate 4 new variables, say, name age and salary

can you give me some advice?


thanks
