Subject | st: CORRECTION: issue with forvalues/foreach |
Date | Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:26:04 +0100 |
Dear Statalisters: When I to run the following (two artificial examples just to illustrate the issue) forvalues i = 1(1)30 { use "F:\project\data\dataset_`i'.dta", clear compress var1 var2 save "F:\project\data\dataset_`i'.dta", replace clear } or for instance foreach country in croatia albania { use "F:\project\data\dataset_`country'.dta", clear compress var1 var2 save "F:\project\data\dataset_`country'.dta", replace clear } Stata returns file F:\project\data`i'.dta not found It seems strange to me that Stata "forgets" the exactly specified path: "F:\project\data\dataset_`i'.dta" in the first example and "F:\project\data\dataset_`i'.dta" in the second example. -- Ivica Rubil Ekonomski institut || The Institute of Economics, Zagreb Trg J.
