Some preliminary experiments do suggest that this is a bug introduced in Stata 11. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk William M. Doerner In Stata 10, I can use the unzipfile command without problems. In Stata 11, I am getting a variety of error messages like "no variables defined" when I enclose a filename with double quotations (same command I am using in Stata 10). All I type is unzipfile "ABC 123.zip", replace An obvious workaround is to rename all of my zipped files to have no spaces and then rerun the code. However, I was wondering if there is an option or an undocumented trick that I might not know about so I can avoid extra coding. I noticed there were one or two posts a few years ago about problems with double quotes in MS DOS, but they did not deal with the unzipfile command. Plus, there is no problem in Stata 10 so I was wondering why this became an issue in Stata 11. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
