Re: st: RE: saving enumerated file names at the end of a loop-more info

["Rodrigo A. Alfaro" <raalfaroa@gmail.com>]

I deal with the long-directories in the following way: typing at the 
beginning
the directory where I am going to work...

cd "c:\My Personal Files\My Really Personal Data\My Secret Place"

then you can fix your program with

use file`i', clear
save file`i', replace
