st: RE: How to drop some Observation in Stata, if they are out of range?

["Martin Weiss" <martin.weiss1@gmx.de>]

The -drop- part is low hanging fruit. Just

drop if earnings<min | earnings>max


The thing I do not quite get is what you want to do with the -drop-ped
variables...

range?

Hi, there
I want to drop some Observations in Stata, who are out of a certain range.
For example: I have 2 variables, the first one is an identnumber and
the second one are the earnings.
Now I want Stata to drop all the Observation who are under a minimum
earning and all who are over a maximum earning and save this under a
new variable.
 In the moment i can't figure it out by myself.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Boris
