Stata drives me crazy with all its quotes and double-quotes. I am trying
to get value labels returned the same way that mlogit does it, e.g. if the
labels are
Very SD
Somewhat "D"
I `Strongly' Agree
(Labels deliberately chosen to cause as much trouble as possible.) mlogit
will return in e(eqnames)
which will parse as 3 different words. Now, I know how to get the value
labels, but I can't for the life of me get all the quotes and double-quotes
right, e.g. I do something like
forval i = 1/3 {
local vlabel: label(`y') `i'
local vlabels `vlabels' `vlabel'
}
and it of course doesn't work right. But, I've also tried also sorts of
combos involving `" and "' and it still never comes out right - I always
wind up with extra or missing quotes and double-quotes. Any help would be
appreciated.
