You can generate the new variables and -destring- (which I assume you also
want) in one fell swoop:
***********
clear*
inp str5 hhh_age
15-19
20-24
25-39
end
split hhh_age, gen(age) parse(-) destring
rename age1 age_min
rename age2 age_max
list, noo
***********

Have you had a look at -split-?

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
