I believe there may be a way to get your data into Stata by using the -file-
command to create a new raw data file. The idea is to read your file line by
line, grab just the values you want to read in, and write them to a new raw
data file. You should then be able to read that file into Stata.
If you need some help with this, please send a small portion of one of your
files to technical support <[email protected]>, and I will be happy to
take a look at it.
