Re: st: Programming a slightly complex list of independent variables

Use something like this to generate a list of all s* and f* which may then be pruned appropriately to remove x and z:

webuse lutkepohl, clear
unab allell: l*
di "`allell'"
forv i=1/3 {
	loc zap: word `i' of `allell'
	loc list`i': list allell - zap
	di "`list`i''"
}
