Sorry for reopening this thread, but my solution has the added advantage
that it dispels the myth that -desc- is not capable of leaving behind a
subset of variables provided by the user. You want to trade off this benefit
against the additional line :-)

Betreff: st: RE: Number of a subset of variables in local
Thanks to Martin and Antoine, that was quick.
Both solutions work fine (Antoine's is two lines though).
Thread closed. Sven
Two line solution:
unab myvars : name*
local mycount=wordcount("`myvars'")
Three line solution:
d name*, varlist
local myvars=r(varlist)
local mycount: list sizeof myvars
