Re: st: Log file with too much information

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

One possibility here is to use the -dolog- package, which you can 
download from SSC (if you want the Stata 12 version), or from my website 
(if you want the Stata 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 or 6 versions). The -dolog- 
package is used to execute do-files not containing any -log open- or 
-log close- statements, and supplies these for the user, specifying text 
logs. So, if you have installed -dolog-, then you can type
dolog mydofile

and Stata will execute -mydofile.do-, and send the output to a text log 
file -mydofile.log-.
I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger
