Have you had a look at -split-?
If the thing is not a -string- yet, you can turn it into one via -string()-, on the fly...

Betreff: st: Return a specific bit from integer variable
Hello again, listers!
I have imported an 8-bit integer variable where each bit represents a
flag telling me if some property of the observation is true or false.
E.g. the number 8 in binary format is 00001000, while 10 would be
00001010. Bit nr. 4 from the left tells me if a car is delivered or
not, while the second to the right tells me if it's paid or not. So 8
= car is delivered but not paid, 2 = paid but not delivered, 10 = paid
and delivered, etc.
I need to split this information into 8 dummyvariables so they can be
used to segment my data.
Does there exist a fairly smooth way to do this in Stata?
Cheers,
-Steinar
