| Subject | st: Relative directory paths in Stata? |
| Date | Mon, 5 Aug 2013 09:49:38 +0200 |
Hi all, There's one thing I was never able to figure out in Stata. How can I instruct the programme to change to the directory which contains the current do-file? For instance, if I use a USB stick, depending on the computer, I may be working in drive "E:\My files" or "F:\My files". Now, if I change the working directory to "F:\My files" in the former, or "E:\My files" in the latter case, I will get an error. Can't I just instruct Stata to change to whatever directory the current do-file is in? Thanks.
