Dear Statalist,
Numerous people have suggested using unab rhsvars : `rhsvars'. This is
exactly what I am looking for. Thank you very much for your help.
I do have a more general question. Let's say I have a silly program that
looked like this:
************************************************
program myprog
version 8.0
unab 0 : `*'
display " `0' "
local k=0
while "``k''" !="" {
local ++k
}
local --k
display "The number of variables is `k'"
end
*************************************************
For some reason, even though I redefined the 0 local to contain the
expanded variable list (without spaces), the subsequent loop appears to
use the original, unexpanded local 0. I am not sure why this is the
case. Is it possible to redefine 0?
