Betreff: st: foreach commands
Dear stata list
I want to generate variables containing lnpindexprice11-lnpindexprice111 and
multiply them by wrfoodexpy11-wrfoodexpy111 and replace lnpindexprce*,
respectively. I used foreach commond as follows but it works only for the
first column i.e lnpindexprice11 but not for the other. Would you assist me
please
foreach w of varlist wrfoodexpy11- wrfoodexpy111 {
foreach x of varlist pindexprice11-pindexprice111 {
gen l`x'=ln(`x')
gen lt`x'=l`x'*`w'
}
drop `x'
}
Nigussie
