Well, the -log- is just a text file. Open it with any editor (Notepad) and copy/paste from there...

Example:

************
cap erase mylog.smcl
cap erase mylog.log
loc files "auto census cancer"
log using mylog, name(newlog) replace
loc files "auto census cancer"
foreach file of loc files{
sysuse `file', clear
di in red "`file'"
su
}
log close newlog
translate mylog.smcl mylog.log
************

Open mylog.log in your text editor...

Martin, thanks for the reply.
Just -log- your output so you do not have to keep up with Stata`s pace.

You can't use the copy table command from the log file though, from
what I understand.

-h log-. I also think -collapse- would serve you well...

I'm performing the -su- command on a series of variables in each of a
large set of datasets.

The command looks like

global Datasets "dataset1 dataset2....dataset35"
foreach l in $Datasets {
use `l'
di in red "`l'"
su var1-var3 var8-var11 var17-var25
clear
}

I need to transfer all the resultant tables (maybe 35 of them) into
Excel.  From what I understand, the Copy Table right-click command
only works on a single table at a time , so I have to copy them one by
one, correct?  But because the running display only stores up to a
certain number of lines, I have to do it as the command is running.

Is there another better way to transfer all these tables into Excel
than copying and pasting them one by one?

Thanks very much,
Rachel
