Ah, you are using -estout-'s screen output. As most Stata commands,
-estout- inserts an empty line at the beginning of the output for
aesthetical reasons. If you want to get rid of that line, you have to
write the output to a file and then -type- the file. In your case:
tempfile foo
foreach sample of local samples {
if `sample'==1 local s "a"
if `sample'==2 local s "b"
estout est`sample'`s' est`sample'0 using "`foo'", append ///
keep(var1 var2) style(fixed) cells(b (star fmt(3)) se(fmt(3))) ///
varwidth(16) modelwidth(20) mlabels(none) collabels(none) ///
starlevels(* 0.1 ** 0.05 *** 0.01)
}
type "`foo'"
