st: writing output with -file- command

[Richard Aplenc <raplenc@cceb.med.upenn.edu>]

I would like to write the output of a nested -foreach- loop to a .txt
file with the -file- command, and am having some difficulty doing so 
successfully.

My dataset consists of patients with length of chemotherapy courses and 
variables for gender, race, and treatment, all of which are binary 
variables.  I would like to be able to compare length of chemotherapy 
course by sex, race, and treatment and output the mean, sd, and p value 
for each comparison.

I would appreciate help in using the -file- command to output these 
values to a .txt file.

My code is as follows:

local variables "sex race treatment"
local courses "course100 course200 course300 course701 course702
course703..."

foreach course of local courses {
	foreach variable of local variables {
		ttest `course', by(`variable')
	}
}

Thanks in advance for the help and my apologies for not being able to 
figure this out on my own.

Richard
