Although you declared yourself satisfied with your own response, you may
want to note that -destring- happily takes a -varlist- which would allow you
to employ wildcards as seen in -help varlist-, and that pretty much renders
your loops redundant...
So try -destring p16_200?, replace-

Betreff: st: Fwd: Combining -forvalues- and -foreach-
I have found my error. Now it it works:
forvalues i = 1/6 {
foreach v of var p16_200`i' {
destring `v', replace
}
}
Thank you!

To: [email protected]
Dear Statalisters,
I have a list of string (with numeric meaningful numeric text)
variables: p1_2000 p1_ 2001 p1_2003 p1_2004 p1_2005 p1_2006
I was trying to -destring- them using the next code, but it is not working:
forvalues i = 0/6 {
foreach v of p1_200`i' {
destring `v', replace
}
}
Please, could you tell me if it is posible to do this loop combining
the -forvalues- and the -foreach- commands, and if it is not posible,
would you give an idea of a "good" way to do it.
Thank you in advance,
Leonor
