True enough, but if you're cycling over a numlist 1/`r'
you might as well translate this directly to
inspect `2'
local r=`r(N_unique)' - 1
forval v = 1/`r' {
matrix C[`v',1]=c`v'
}
and then this is a smidgen cleaner:
inspect `2'
local r = r(N_unique) - 1
forval v = 1/`r' {
matrix C[`v',1] = c`v'
}
and this is a smidgen shorter still,
although perhaps more difficult to read:
inspect `2'
forval v = 1/`= r(N_unique) - 1' {
matrix C[`v',1] = c`v'
}
But the code is all followed by a -matrix list C-.
And those -c1-, -c2-, etc. are presumably scalars,
that must exist already. So I don't understand this
really, I am just translating code.

P.S. I guess the -nostop- would be translated
by a -capture- somewhere.
