st: Displaying ttest results

["Yvonne Capstick" <yvonnecapstick@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

i am using ttest to test the equality of variables across a group, i.e.

foreach var in var1 var2 var3 var4 ... {
   ttest `var', by(group)
}

When it displays the results for each variable, it gives the standard ttest 
table (see below) without mentioning the variable it refers to. Of course, I 
can figure it out by counting which table it is in the list (i.e. if it's 
the 13th table, it must be testing equality of the 13th variable) but is 
there a smart way to do it so that it lists the variable being tested in the 
table header?

Thanks,
YC
