Ashim.
here, I fixed the problem:
*------------- save locals ------------------
capture log close
log using mylocals.txt, text replace
macro list
log close
file open logfile using mylocals.txt, text read
file open mylocals using mylocals.do, text replace write
file read logfile line
while r(eof)==0 {
local lname : word 1 of `line'
if strpos("`lname'","_")==1 {
local lval : subinstr local line "`lname'" ""
local lval=trim("`lval'")
local lname : subinstr local lname "_" ""
local lname : subinstr local lname ":" ""
file write mylocals "local `lname' " _char(34) "`lval'" _char(34) _n
}
file read logfile line
}
file close logfile
file close mylocals
*----------- done --------------------------
good luck,
Jeph
