There might be better ways, but this should work:
local varlist p1 p3 p7 ...
local i 1
foreach var of local varlist {
rename `var' p`i'
local i = `i' + 1
}

Dear all,
I want to rename my var list: p1,p3,p7..,
Into new one :p1,p2,p3...
Currently I am running such loop:
Local i
For var of varlist
Rename var pi
But stata tells me error: can't find macro i ... How should I solve
this problem?
I can't use renvars due to memory problem.
Thanks in advance
