Re: st: renaming path name in 100 do-files
This was the problem that I developed -c- to solve (-ssc install fastcd-
to get it).
In brief, -c- associates mnemonics with directories, and then lets you
change to a directory by specifying its mnemonic. The associations are
stored on a file on the computer. I've got different mnemonic-directory
mappings for my home, office, and travel laptop computers, and all my do
files run fine on each.
Doesn't solve the immediate problem, of course...

I'd suggest replacing the hard coded directory name with a global
pointing to the base directory. Then you'd both be able to work on
this set of do-files by referring to the machine specific global.
(I've had something like that for years to divide the workload between
my laptop and desktop.)

Thanks for the suggestions. I failed to mention that the do-files are
in several sub (and sub-sub) folders as well, which would make the
task more complicated.....
2009/9/24 Ulrich Kohler <[email protected]>:
Perhaps something along the following lines:
ssc install dirtools
ldo
foreach file in `r(files)' {
filefilter `file' `file'new, from(<oldpath>) to(<newpath>)
}

Dear all,
I received around 100 different do-files from a colleague, but the
path name in each do-file is different from my computer because the
do-files were on a different computer. Is there any easy way to change
the path in each do-file without having to physically open each
do-file and replace the path name?
Thanks,
Raoul
