Mingfu Liu asked:
... I would like to clear up the content in the
"results window" in the middle of a Stata session.
How do I do it?
and David answered:
"Why would you want to do that?!"
---------------------------------------------------
I guess that you want to be able to modify the output,
e.g. by removing junk, before printing. That can not
be done in the Results window; but you can use a log
file. I made this simple profile.do and put it in
c:\ado\personal:
log using c:\stata.log , replace
profile.do is executed whenever you open Stata, and you
then have a copy of the output (text mode). If you open
stata.log in a text editor, you can edit it, remove junk,
etc. before printing. As text editor I use NoteTab Light,
(download for free from www.notetab.com), but there are
many other possibilities. Find a destription by:
findit text editor
Also read -[R] log- and -[GSW] 16- (or your appropriate
Getting Started manual), or:
help log
My suggestion above is to open a log file automatically
at session start, but you will meet other opinions on
how to use log files.
Hope this helps
