Dear Statalist Members,
Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package -rcd-
is now available for download on SSC.
-rcd- came about from a collaboration of:
Nikos Askitas <nikos@iza.org>
and
Dan Blanchette <dan.blanchette@duke.edu>
Description
rcd expects a directory name otherwise the current working directory is used.
rcd proceeds to recursively visit all subdirectories starting there. rcd will
display what directories it goes to in verbose mode, obey a maximum depth if
one is specified and it will optionally run a command in each directory if
desired. Which directories the submitted command are run in can be selected by
using the dirfilter() option.
rcd may be thought of as a recursor. A typical example of what you can do using
it is:
. rcd . : dir *.dta
which would result in visiting every subdirectory starting where you are wanting
to see the Stata datafiles in each one of them.
To check it out:
. ssc describe rcd
Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
