My advice would be for you to provide the entire context of your problem.
There are solutions to the specific question you are asking, but I am quite
sure there is a way to avoid these awkward quotes...

Betreff: st: Trouble with quotes in defining macro
I have the following problem:
Within a loop I want to define a macro as follows:
Foreach var of varlist var1 var2 var3 {
local varlabs `varlabs' "`:var l `var''"
}
I want the macro varlabs to contain the following string ??lab1? ?lab2?
?lab3??, where lab1 is the label for var1 etc.
But I?m having problems with the quotes.
I then want to use this local as an argument in another command and that
is why I wish it in this format with quotes around each label.
I am using stata 10.
Many thanks for your help.
