If you want to keep this a "string affair", you could also
*************
clear*
input str10 var
"2011017:1"
"2011018:1"
"2011018:2"
"2011026:1"
"2011040:1"
"2011041:1"
end
compress
list, noobs
cou if substr(var,-2,.)==":2"

Betreff: st: data entries
Hello,
I have a string variable whose entries look like as below:
2011017:1
2011018:1
2011018:2
2011026:1
2011040:1
2011041:1
I need to determine how many of these entries have "2" at the end (i.e. as
you see above some entries have ":1" and some others have ":2". I would
like to determine the number of entries with ":2" at the end.
What would be the command for this?
