Re: st: RE: outsheet or outfile display
Thank you very much Nick. I didn't mean to disparage Stata or integrators
with my question.
I'm sorry, but at this point in my own progress on the Stata learning
curve, I haven't yet learned programming and am working with do files using
basic commands and their options.
The results I would like to achieve is a table separated not by every N
lines, but rather by specific values of a variable, such as in this case,
month/year:
.list ini dxage sex race datetx, noobs sepby(datetx)
------------------------------------------------
AD 63 male white November, 1993
CV 69 male white November, 1993
JC 39 male white November, 1993
LF 46 male white November, 1993
MF 55 male white November, 1993
NL 63 male white November, 1993
VJ 68 male asian November, 1993
------------------------------------------------
HM 59 male white December, 1993
IT 47 male white December, 1993
MO 76 male white December, 1993
WC 74 male white December, 1993
------------------------------------------------
AW 61 male white January, 1994

This would be most un-Stataish and it would be in my view
be bad style for StataCorp to allow this with -outsheet-
or -outfile-, regardless of whether this is a format that
is acceptable or congenial downstream. But you could program
it yourself fairly easily. The best way that occurs to
me is to use -outsheet- or -outfile- to produce a file,
and then just read in that file once more and spit it
out again with extra intercalated lines.
... if !mod(count, s)
picks up every s th line. That is, the task doesn't
or shouldn't require a hit on -outsheet- or -outfile-
code but could just be treated as a twist on copying a file.
However, if you want tabs or commas in corresponding places,
that would need to be part of the twist.
