I have the following problem:
Within a loop I want to define a macro as follows:
Foreach var of varlist var1 var2 var3 {
local varlabs `varlabs' "`:var l `var''"
}
I want the macro varlabs to contain the following string ““lab1” “lab2”
“lab3””, where lab1 is the label for var1 etc.
But I’m having problems with the quotes.
I then want to use this local as an argument in another command and that
is why I wish it in this format with quotes around each label.
I am using stata 10.
Many thanks for your help.
