dear stata users,
thanks to kit baum, a new package called -rewrite- is available from SSC.
-rewrite- copies the text file -modelfile- to -finalfile-. the
difference with -copy- is that -modelfile- is not copied verbatim:
-rewrite- performs macro substitution on -modelfile- using the values of
global macros that are valid for the current Stata session.
-rewrite- automatizes the tip contained in
Gini, R. 2008. Stata tip 56: Writing parameterized text files. The
Stata Journal 8(1): 134-136.
