There's likely a better way, but I often do this:
foreach each var of varlist _all {
if "`var'" == "a" continue
if "`var'" == "b" continue
<whatever>
}

Subject: st: excluding variables from varlist
Hi,
using the foreach command I would like to exclude certain variables,
e.g:
"foreach var of varlist _all [/excluding a, b, c/]".
Is that possible and if so how?
Thanks,
Thomas
