st: routine for matching of a str-variable

Dear Stata-Listers,
I want to check the prevalence of 200+ pharmaceutical agents in a
dataset of 14000+ ATC-codes in 3327 patients. The table with the
pharmaceutical agents is organised this way:
"pharmaceutical agent (str)" "atc-code (str)"
i=1
2 Memantine N06DX01
3 Estron G03CA07
4 Promestrien G03CA09
i=200
I'm looking for a routine that first creates a new variable "atc-
code". this var should store the information (1), if the atc-code is
matched, (0) if it's not.
my workaround (if it deserves that name) til now is to copy
200+times, then re"submit" the different atc-code by hand, :-(.
gen byte N06DX01 = regexm(atc-code, "^[N]+[0]+[6]+[D]+[X]+[0]+[1]+")
label var N06DX01 "Memantine"
tabulate N06DX01
is there any helpful automatization out there?
best regards
thomas
