simple question, I hope -- I have a variable which is a range of ages,
for example the variable name is hhh_age and the quantities are
15-19, 20-24, 25-39 etc...
and I want to generate a new variable (age_min) that returns the left
two characters from hhh_age , and another variable that generates the
right two -- (age_max)
I searched but couldnt find it, seems like a very simple thing, but
cant figure it out.
any help is greatly appreciated
Ty
