st: String Variable

[yj <jingjingteow@hotmail.com>]

Hello, I'm a new user of STATA. 

I would like to generate a new variable if a concatenated string variable
contains the character I want.

eg. 

observation            string variable
1                          ABC
2                          BC
3                          AC
4                          AFC
5                          A

I would like to create a new variable for observations where the string
variable contains the letter A (its position in the string variable is
irrelevant).

Please help, thank you!
