I have the following data :
VictoriaW 8 1 XaghraU
MunxarF 0 1 ZebbugR
XewkijaT 2 0 SannatL
KercemA 0 0 NadurY
and I would like to convert it to Stata
The way I proceed is to save it in a do file ,giving it the name of score
, which ,by default Stata recognizes as score.do
and then write the following dictionary :
dictionary using score.do {
str9 a
byte b
byte c
str7 d
}
exit
and save it ,giving it the name of score1,which,by default Stata recognizes
as score1.dct
Then I typed interactively the folowing commands ,but none of them worked :
. infile using score1
file score1.dct not found
r(601);
. infile using score1.dct
file score1.dct not found
r(601);
. infile using score1.do
file score1.do not found
r(601);
Can anyone one please tell me how to convert data into Stata with the use
of dictionary.
Using the input command is no problem at all :
input str9 a byte b byte c str7 d
VictoriaW 8 1 XaghraU
MunxarF 0 1 ZebbugR
XewkijaT 2 0 SannatL
KercemA 0 0 NadurY
end
l,notrim
. clear
. do "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\STD01000000.tmp"
. input str9 a byte b byte c str7 d
a b c d
1. VictoriaW 8 1 XaghraU
2. MunxarF 0 1 ZebbugR
3. XewkijaT 2 0 SannatL
4. KercemA 0 0 NadurY
5. end
. l,notrim
a b c d
1. VictoriaW 8 1 XaghraU
2. MunxarF 0 1 ZebbugR
3. XewkijaT 2 0 SannatL
4. KercemA 0 0 NadurY
.
end of do-file
