How about this:
*----------------- begin example ------------------
sysuse auto, clear
reg mpg displacement turn gear_ratio
local ivlist "displacement turn gear_ratio"
set traced 1
*set trace on
foreach var of varlist $ivlist {
local list1 : list ivlist - var
di "`list1'"
local numvars : word count (`list1')
adjust `list1', xb by(foreign)
sum `list1'
}
*-------------- end example -----------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
Maarten
