st: Matrix query

[Bob Fitzgerald <bfitzgerald@mprinc.com>]

I have the following code which does not work and I'm stumped. 
Suggestions welcome.
Female is a dummy variable coded 0=male, 1=female.

****

levelsof female, local(name);
foreach l of local name {;

di "`: label (female) `l''";
ttest  sri_lexile_scores_1 =  sri_last_lexile_score if female==`l' & 
filter2==1;
mat b`l' = r(mu_1), r(mu_2), r(N_1), r(N_2), r(t) ,r(p);
matrix list b`l';
};

matrix filter2= b0\b1\;
matrix colnames filter2 = mean1st meanlast nfirst nlast t prob;
matrix list filter2;
mat2txt , matrix(filter2) saving(table 12rev paired ttests filter2 for 
excel.txt) append;
*****
The program runs the ttests, shows the contents of matrices b0 and b1 
at each step through the foreach loop, but fails with the following 
error message:

. matrix filter2= b0\b1\;
b1\ not found
r(111);

yet b1 is created and the contents reflect the results of the ttest.

Thanks for any advice.
