Hello All:
I've searched the help files & online documentation, as well as
conducted a cursory search of the Statalist archives, all to no avail,
so I'm posting my query to all of you. And with that, my query: I
want to write an .ado file that, when invoked, will open up a blank
.do file [doedit] then paste a bunch of standard text (via a series of
-display- commands) into the .do file. This is sort of what I'm
envisioning:
/* ***************... *************** */
/* Program Name: ************* */
/* ...so forth and so on... */
/***************...**************** */
clear
version 9.2
set more off
capture log close
---- snip -----
I can generate the above via a series of -display- commands but where
I get confused is HOW can an .ado file (I'm sure it can be done,
albeit I'm at a loss as to how...) paste this into a blank .do file
instead of in the output window?!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions & insights!
Best, Clint
