Betreff: st: Change letter in string
Hi,
I would like to ask you how I can change a letter in a string in stata.
For example I have a variable that contains last names. How can I
change the letter "e" with the letter "a" in all names? (i.e. if the
name is Beth I want to change it into Bath"
Thank you
Margie
