Subject: st: foreach syntax
hI,
I am trying to run a simple foreach loop, but my code is clearly not
being parsed correctly, because the code below results in a "file not
found" error, (as does the same code without the double quotes inside the
foreach loop.) I've looked at the programming section of the User guide,
but I can't find the source of my error, which is undoubtedly very
simple. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Devra

local files "owner00r owner99r owner93r"
foreach file of local files {
clear
inputst "d:\Data\CGSData\`file'.wb2"
capture save "d:\Data\CGSData\`file''", replace
}
