st: Exporting summary tables
I'm seeking guidance in creating summary tables which I can output to
a text file. From my data set, I have used the -table- command to
produce summary statistics, such as the following example where I
report the number of subjects, median age, and proportion treated,
stratified by cancer stage:
. table stage treatment, contents(n age median age mean treatment)
col format(%9.2g) cen row
However, neither -table- nor the other related commands (tabulate or
tabstat) are described in their help files as having the capability
of exporting those summary statistics to a text file.
The context for my request is the following: from Michael Blasnik's
lecture "Mass producing appendices using Stata and word processor
mail merge" (http://ideas.repec.org/p/boc/asug05/14.html), I learned
how to merge Stata output created using -outsheet- into a Microsoft
Word template to create data tables (allowing me to reduce
cut-and-paste errors).
What I am seeking in this posting is guidance on how to create an
exported table of summary statistics, which I can then -outsheet- to
a tab-limited text file.
