. When copying tables from the web and pasting, files can lose delimiters (if they had any). So a file that looks like this online with var header included: A B C one 1 2 three 3 4 becomes this when pasted: A B C one 1 2 three 3 4 What Stata command handles this format? The infile command has a byvariable(#) option, but this is for data like: A one three B 1 3 C 2 4 -Dave * * 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/
