Hello list,
I looked through the string functions to try to find out which variable
values of a string variable has letters plus numbers, only letters, and
only numbers, but didn't come up with anything. E.g. suppose i wanted
to create a categorical variable that takes on 1 when stringvar has
only numbers, 2 if a mix of numbers and letter, and 3 if only letters:
stringvar catvar
1 1
12 1
id14 2
run 3
5K 2
SPRINT 3
Is there a way to do this?
thanks,
tewodaj
