Miyu,
Another command is -regexm-
gen byte GmbH_Match = regexm(variable, "GmbH")
If you simply want to list the entries:
list variable if regexm(variable, "GmbH")

Hi Miyu,
try the -strmatch- command.
For example:
gen GmbH = 1 if strmatch(variablename, "*GmbH*")

Betreff: st: Search for string values in dataset??
Is there ANY way to search for specific string values in a dataset
with string variables? For example: I am searching for all entries
showing the part "GmbH" in a vector with firm names. I have a bad
feeling about this!
Best
Miyu
