RE: st: RE: codebook transfer
Actually, I wonder if the problem is that the version of Stata 10 is
not up to date. Bill Gould promised us a while back that -index-
would quietly come back to life (albeit undocumented), and it appears
that that is what has happened:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. gen x = index(make, "a")
. sum x
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
x | 74 5.432432 4.783193 0 16

Meaning: -index()- is still there, but you must call it under version
control.
A program declared as -version 10- will not recognise a call to
-index()-.

In Stata 10, the string function index() has been replaced by strpos()
