Hello Statalist -
I just downloaded a bunch of data from ICPSR, but unfortunately not
all of it has stata do files to go from the fixed width .txt raw data
to a stata .dta dataset.
ICPSR does, however, provide setup files for SPSS and SAS. I can guess
at what the syntax is and then manually adjust it to write a stata do
file. Since it's a rather slow process, I was hoping someone had a
perl script or other way to use regular expressions or what have you
to convert a SAS or SPSS setup file to a stata dictionary.
Thanks,
Dana
