Re: st: RE: Running do files from other folders?

[Steven Samuels <sjhsamuels@earthlink.net>]

Robert has the choice of creating a "calling" do file in his current  
directory instead of typing commands by hand.  That is what I would  
do.  Macros can save much of the typing:

*********************************************************************
local survey = "~/Documents/Curr_Proj/Survey/"     //Study Directory
local p1 "`survey'PBatch1/"                        //1st subdirectory
local p2 "`survey'PBatch2/"                        //2nd subdirectory
local p3 "`survey'PBatch3/"                        //3rd
do `p1'p05
********************************************************************
