Dear Statalist members,
I have a dataset which contains a variable <site_02> containing a 
long list of tumor ID codes, from which I want to keep ten:
	C180 through C189.

Is there a less labor-intensive way to do the following:

keep if site_02=="C180" |  site_02=="C181" |  site_02=="C182" |  ///
	 site_02=="C183" |  site_02=="C184" |  site_02=="C185" | ///
	 site_02=="C186" |  site_02=="C187" |  site_02=="C188" | 
site_02=="C189"

Thank you for your attention.
