RE: st: How to list all the observation meeting the conditions which are the former results?

[DE SOUZA Eric <eric.de_souza@coleurope.eu>]

input x y z
....
gen id = _n
l
preserve
keep if z<5
l
restore

This way you have the observation numbers in the original dataset

Or do you want something else?

Dear statalists,
How to list all the observation meeting the conditions which are the former results?
For example,
. clear
. input x y z
             x          y          z
  1. 1 2 8
  2. 1 2 2
  3. 2 3 4
  4. 2 3 9
  5. 2 4 8
  6. end
. l
     +-----------+
     | x   y   z |
     |-----------|
  1. | 1   2   8 |
  2. | 1   2   2 |
  3. | 2   3   4 |
  4. | 2   3   9 |
  5. | 2   4   8 |
     +-----------+
. l if z<5
     +-----------+
     | x   y   z |
     |-----------|
  2. | 1   2   2 |
  3. | 2   3   4 |
     +-----------+
Now I want to list all the observations for each x and y combination in the former results,i.e.,(x==1 & y==2) | (x==2 | y==3).
I know I can type "l if (x==1 & y==2) | (x==2 | y==3)".
However, typing one by one is troublesome if the number of the combinations for the former results is large.
I know -levelsof- can solve the problem if not the combination but just one variable.
Is there a way like -levelsof- ?
Thank you!
Grace
