Re: st: stepwise - how to get list of names of variables selected?

["Eveline Nuesch" <Eveline.Nuesch@lshtm.ac.uk>]

Thanks, Nick and Phil for suggestions. 
 
Phil's approach gives a list including _cons, which is not suitable if
I use it as list of predictors subsequent regressions.
-indeplist- works fine.

Here's one simple option (which should be fine for your simple command,
otherwise see the much more sophisticated -indeplist- suggested by
Nick):

stepwise ...
matrix b=e(b)
local xlist_`i': colnames b
