Look at the help for -postfile-.

Something like

clear
input v1 v2 v3
1 1 0
0 0 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
0 1 0
1 1 1
end

tempname handle

postfile `handle' str32 which1 str32 which2 mean using myresults, replace

forv i=1/3 {
  forv j=1/3 {
  if `i'~=`j' {
    sum  v`i' if v`i' == v`j', meanonly
    post `handle' ("v`i'") ("v`j'") (`r(mean)')

}
}
}

postclose `handle'

use myresults, clear
