Subject | st: How to identify a string as a variable? |
Date | Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:08:47 +0900 |
Hello, I need help! I'm looking for the way to identify a text string as a variable. Here is an example. .clear .sysuse auto . di price[1] 4099 . di ("p"+"rice"+"[1]") price[1] On the last command, I need "4099", not "price[1]". Is there any string function to identify a string as a variable's name? Thank you for your help!
