Dear Statalist,
Does anyone know if there is a similar syntax to `x' for string variables?
I have a string variable which might have contents like:
1, 2, 3, 4
I want to replace this string, under certain conditions, with something
like:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
i.e. I want to keep the string and append ", 5", for example, to the end.
What I have written is this, but I realized the `myvar' notation only makes
sense when myvar is numeric.
replace match="`match', `y'" if ... Where y is numeric.
Again, ideas? Thanks so much.
Terra
