Richard,
thank you for your prompt reply.
I use intercooled stata 8.0 (at home)
. which lookfor
C:\Stata8\ado\base\l\lookfor.ado
*! version 3.2.0 28jun2001
So the only explanation is I need to update my stata?
Thank you!!!
Best,
Anna
Richard responded:
What version of Stata are you using? In Stata 9, I get
. which lookfor
C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\base\l\lookfor.ado
*! version 3.3.1 17dec2003
which is different than the version you list. It is also version 3.3.1 in Stata 8.2. Perhaps you need to update your Stata? If using anything other than the latest version of Stata, be sure to say that. You should also try the -which lookfor- command; perhaps you aren't executing the program you think you are.

Subject: why is lookfor acting up?
Dear all,
what is happening?
. lookfor depend
Unknown function ()
r(133);
It's installed, the ado file is there (copied below, never touched it). Thank you!
Best,
Anna
*! version 3.2.0 28jun2001
program define lookfor, rclass
version 7
if `"`0'"' == "" { error 198 }
local i 1
while `"``i''"' != "" {
local look`i' = lower(`"``i''"')
local i = `i'+1
}
local nlook = `i'-1
local 0 "_all"
syntax varlist
foreach v of local varlist {
local lbl : variable label `v'
local touse 0
forvalues j = 1/`nlook' {
if index(lower(`"`v'"'),`"`look`j''"') /*
*/ | index(lower(`"`lbl'"'), `"`look`j''"') {
local touse 1
continue, break
}
}
if `touse' {
local list "`list' `v'"
}
}
if "`list'" != "" {
describe `list'
return local varlist `list'
}
end
exit
3.2.0 ported to Stata 7
lookfor now returns varlist in r(varlist)
