st: New versions of -dolog-, -dologx- and -dotex- on SSC
Thanks to Kit Baum, new versions of the -dolog-, -dologx- and -dotex-
packages are now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the
-ssc- command to do this.
The -dolog-, -dologx- and -dotex- packages are described as below on my
website, and enable the user to execute a do-file, outputting the
results automatically to a text or LaTeX log file. The new versions fix
a bug, which caused the old versions to fail if the name of the do-file
contained embedded blanks. As this bug has stayed undetected since 2003,
it seems that relatively few users name their do-files with embedded
blanks, even under Microsoft operating environments.
I would like to thank Stefan Ruediger of the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee for informing me of this bug.
Best wishes

package dolog from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata9
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
TITLE
dolog: Execute commands from a file, creating a log file
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
dolog (like do) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in
filename
just as if they were entered from the keyboard, and echos the
commands as it
executes them, creating a log file filename.log. If filename is
specified
without an extension, filename.do is assumed. If filename is
specified with
an extension, then the log file will have .log as an additional
extension
(so dolog will not overwrite the original do-file). Arguments are
allowed
(as with do), but the nostop option is not available.

package dologx from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata9
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
TITLE
dologx: Multiple versions of dolog for executing certification
scripts
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
dologx (like dolog) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in
a do-file
named filename.do as if they were entered from the keyboard, and
echos the
commands as it executes them, creating a log file filename.log.
The dologx
package contains multiple versions of dolog, written in multiple
Stata
versions, intended for use when running certification scripts.
Usually, a
do-file should contain a version statement at or near the top, so
it will
still run in the Stata version in which it was written, even if
the user runs
it under a later version of Stata. Certification scripts are an
exception to
this rule, because they are run under multiple Stata versions, to
certify
that the package being tested works under all of these versions. A
certification script therefore should not contain a version
statement at the
top. The version of Stata under which it run will therefore be the
version in
force in the program that calls it, even if that program is dolog.
The
standard version of dolog should therefore not be used to run a
certification
script, and the user should use the dologx package instead, using
dolog6 to
run it under Stata 6, dolog7 to run it under Stata 7, and so on.

package dotex from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata7
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
TITLE
dotex: Execute a do-file generating a SJ LaTeX log
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
dotex is a version of the dolog package, and causes Stata to
execute the
commands stored in a do-file named filename.do as if they were
entered from
the keyboard, and echos the commands as it executes them, creating
a log file
filename.tex written in Stata Journal (SJ) LaTeX. The file
filename.tex (or
parts of it) can then be included in the stlog environment of SJ
LaTeX. The
dotex package was derived by hybridising the dolog package with
the SJ's
logopen and logclose, which also create log files written in SJ
LaTeX for
inclusion in the stlog environment. The dotex package has the
advantage that
a user can run the same do-file using dotex, dolog and do,
creating a SJ
LaTeX log file, a text log file, and no log file, respectively.
