Hi,
I am trying to isolate some digits from a variable to form a new variable.
For example, I have a variable with 13 digits (e.g. 5101232120011) and I
want to extract the 6th digit (in this case 3) and make it a separate
variable. The original variable always has 13 digits in it. I wonder
whether I can use Stata to do this. I will appreciate suggestions.
