RE: st: RE: foreach syntax

[Devra Golbe <dgolbe@optonline.net>]

Thanks to all who responded.   Forward rather than backward slashes indeed 
solved my problem:

local files "owner00r owner99r owner93r"

. foreach file of local files {
  2. clear
  3. inputst d:/Data/CGSData/`file'.wb2
  4. capture save d:/Data/CGSData/`file', replace
  5. }

.
