I asked a similar question a few weeks ago and got the renvars command. It's a miracle worker - use it in good health and thank the author.

The variable names and the example I gave was I bit simplified. When I
tried
to manipulate your syntax to fit our specific problem I got into
trouble.
The variable names are not just:
Q1, Q2, Q3 ... .
They are:
id, est, dat, Q1, Q2, Q3 ... .
I do not simply want to change to:
w_Q1, w_Q2, w_Q3 ... .
I want to get rid of "Q" in the names and change the names to:
id, est, dat, q12p1, q12p2, q12p3 ... .
To change your code to add q12 instead of w_ is straight forward, but to
get
rid of Q and get the loop running is more than I can achieve. Any help
is
welcome.
