st: re: checking matrix column names

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Christian said
When Stata estimates _beta, it gives names to the columns of that  
vector. Is there a way to retrieve--not change--the names of the  
columns?


After regress (or other est commands),

mat b = e(b)
local names: colnames b
display "`names'"
