st: mkdir with local

[tiago.pereira@incor.usp.br]

Dear All,

I would like to generate a new directory inside Stata and to save data
using a local macro. For example:

local name = "test_directory"
cd C:\
mkdir "`directory ' "
// my do file
save "C:\`name'\current_data.dta"



However, last line does not work. Is it possible to do that?

Thx in advance.

Tiago
