Hi, I have a small issue regarding quotation marks: I want to remove all quote marks from my dataset, seems it doesnt work with the substring command. For example, "replace variable = subinstr( variable, """, " ",.)" (that is triple quotation marks) doesnt work, (rightly) saying "too few quotes" or: "replace variable = subinstr (variable, """", " ", .)" works - unfortunately removing everything within quotation marks. Hmmmm, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Miyu * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
