Thanks Eva, just what I needed (with the slight change of r1* to r*)

Ronnie,

here is one way to do it.

foreach x of varlist r1* {
   local end = substr("`x'",-2,.)
   local start = subinstr("`x'","`end'","",1)
   rename `x' `end'`start'
}

Hope this helps,
Eva

Dear Listers
How do I rename some variables by switching letters around.

As an example, I would like to rename r1k4 r12k4 to k4r1 and k4r12, so take
the last two characters and put them at the beginning and put whatever is
left at the end.

Many thanks

Ronnie
