Re: st: recoding strings

Not so far as I know. You could -encode-
your string variable, then apply -recode-.
Otherwise it is a matter of a series
of -replace-s.

I would like to recode a string variable. However, -recode- accepts 
numeric values only. Is there a similar command for string variables?
