I would like to have a list of stubs to automate reshaping some data. I
plan to -reshape long subname, i(federation) j(year)-
All the variable names have years on the end, for example
. ds
federation w_1902 w_union~1908 b_b_1914 w_1921 gal_1929 ts_1950
w_1880 foner_1902 ts_1908 b_union~1914 w_union~1921 w_1930 ts_1951 w_1881
foner_u~1902 b_st_1908 w_1915 ts_1921 w_union~1930 ts_1952 w_1882
[snip]
Is there a way to get a set or subset of stubs such as w_ w_union~ gal_ ,
etc. without typing this list explicitly?
