Hello everyone,
For those that change their working directory a lot (and thus tend to
change their profile.do file), this ADO may be useful:
Name of program: cdp_beta
(It's like "cd" but permanently, therefore cdp ... ok the name is not that good)
(as seen in the name, this is a beta version)
Function: To change or create the profile.do file, so a default
working directory can be added (or removed).
Location:
http://stata.googlecode.com/files/cdp_beta.ado
Usage:
cdp_beta
When the cmd has been issued alone, with no arguments, it will try to
find the current default working dir.
cdp_beta dirname
Will change the default working directory to dirname, and create a
profile.do if necessary.
Example: cdp_beta "C:\My data"
cdp_beta, clear
Will remove any default working directory from profile.do
Suggestions are very welcome, specially regarding the style / syntax / usage.
By the way, the program tries to be careful with what you have in the
dofile. It basically adds a -cd "yourpath"- line at the end of the
program (or before the first -exit- line), and removes all previous cd
lines. Also, more options could be included to change other common
lines in the profile.do (like -set mem-).
Cheers,
Sergio

In the main Stata folder (for my part ...\Stata9 ), create a file called
" profile.do ".Stata will execute this dofile with every startup. Here you
can include any commands e.g.
set memory 400m
cd d:\statadata
adopath + d:\statadata\adofiles

Betreff: st: Changing working directory permanently
Hello,
Doing the command "cd" is modifying the working directory temporarily. How
can it be modified permanently?
Thanks,
Claude
