-lstrfun- allows you to modify local macros that contain strings using Mata's
string functions which are not restricted to the maximum length of strings
in Stata like the normal string functions in Stata are limited.
Thanks Dan,
very good idea!
I had to write workarounds for this situation in the past so this makes it a lot easier.
I regularly would like to have more than 244 chars for string vars and string manipulation in Stata.
