Re: st: Table of results

[Ronnie Babigumira <rb.glists@gmail.com>]

Dear Austin
Thanks for the reply. This completely new but exciting territory for me.

I have tried to follow the example in the link you sent and here is what I have done so far (I welcome any comments you 
may have to make it better).

local r1c1= `"Radius"'
local r1c2= r(attr)
local r1c3= r(seattr)
local r1c4= r(tsattr)

tempname out
file open `out'  using rx_results.txt, write replace
file write `out' "Method" _tab "Effect" _tab "SE" _tab "t"
file write `out'  _n "`: di "`r1c1'"'"
file write `out'  _tab "`: di %4.3f `r1c2''"
file write `out'  _tab "`: di %4.3f `r1c3''"
file write `out'  _tab "`: di %4.3f `r1c4''"
file close `out'

I had some trouble including the method name but after trying a whole set of quote combinations, I got lucky. Here is 
what the first take of rx_results.txt looks like

Method  Effect  SE      t
Radius  -0.182  0.010   -18.119

Just a couple of questions.

i) If I have 10 rows and 4 columns so what the locals are r1/r10 and c1/c4. How would I put this in a loop
ii) My plan is to typeset this in LaTeX so is it a simple matter of replacing the _tab with "&" and adding an extra line 
with \\ to close the row.

Many many thanks (you have no idea how much time I have spent on this)

Ronnie
