st: Seeing if the last observation equals previous observations from a variable X

Dear Statalisters,
I want to know how I
could see if the last observation in a variable X (containing strings) is equal
to other observations in the variable. I know I can use X[_N] to identify the
last observation in the variable, but how could I see if I have a previously
identical observation to X[_N] in the variable?
Thank you a lot for
the help,
George
