| Subject | st: How to extract text from Labels |
| Date | Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:50:21 +0200 |
Dear Statalisters, I have a problem with labels. In my Dataset are single items (binary) from a multiple option question. The label format of this variables are “[Text1]Text2”. Now I want to relabel the variables only with the Text in the square brackets (Text1). Any ideas for a syntax that i can use in a foreach-loop? Thanks a lot, Jörg * * 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/
