Dear Statalist,

 Suppose I have a macro X of this form:

 local X part_oneXpart_two

 How could I generally obtain two macros taking values "part_one" and
"part_two"?

 So, in general, I need to count characters until the "X" and obtain a
word from the first character until the one just before "X". Then, I
need to obtain a word from the character just after "X" until the end.

 Thanks

 Benjamín
