st: a question related to -foreach-

["Carlo Lazzaro" <carlo.lazzaro@tiscalinet.it>]

Dear Statalisters,
following the below reported:

. foreach x of varlist  b1-b36 {
  2. summarize `x'
  3. }

I would like to generate a newvar in which the r(mean) for each one of the
36 variables included in varlist are stored. How can I do this in Stata
9.2/SE?

Thanks a lot for your kindness and for your time.

Kind Rgards,

Carlo
