st: list (if) (in)

[Malcolm Wardlaw <malcolm@mail.utexas.edu>]

I'm sure this question is easy to answer, but searching for it is a 
little hard given that there are a lot of "if"s and "in"s in the 
documentation.

I want to be able to list the first 10 observations that conform to a 
given 'if' statement.

I can't do

	list if x=5 in 1/10

or

	list in 1/10 if x=5

since that only returns the first 10 observations in the data -if- they 
conform.

I want the first 10 observations that -do- conform.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question

Malcolm
