st: question about the anycount option of egen

Dear all,
I need to generate a variable which equals a number of times variables
in my dataset the name of which starts from nodes equal 1.
I did it in the following way:
egen nodes = anycount(nodes*), v(1)
however now I realise that I want to include a count of all variables
the name of which start from nodes, but one. I looked at the help file
and it seems I cannot exclude 1 variable in the anycount option of egen
and will have to do it in a more roundabout way. I just wanted to
confirm if that is the case?
I will be most grateful for any advice,
Warm regards,
Ekaterina
