Re: st: Saving Review Window

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

You can save the contents of the review window into a .do file by 
right-clicking on the review window and selecting "Save Review Contents..."

You can then execute that .do file.

The program below will let you read the contents of that do file and 
insert it into the review window, WITHOUT actually executing the commands:

---------------------------------------------------------
program pushreview
        version 9.1
        args fn

        tempname hdl
        file open `hdl' using `"`fn'"', read text
        file read `hdl' line

        while !(r(eof)) {
                window push `line'
                file read `hdl' line
        }
end
--------------------------------------------------------

Syntax is just

  . pushreview mydo.do

where "mydo.do" is the name of the .do file you saved before.

I don't think Stata has a way to save the review window contents 
programmatically, so I don't think this can be fully automated . . .
