RE: st: recognizing patterns within two columns of data

Hello, Thanks. But egen group won't work since the holders are not the same. CompA and B (which I want grouped together) are owned by holderA and by holderB. The link is that these two companies are owned by people who also own shares in the other company - holderA owns shares in compA and also compB; similarly holderB owns shares in compA and also in compB. I want to identify those companies that are linked by multiple common owners.
Example:
compA holderA
compB holderA
compA holderB
compB holderB
compC holderB
What I want:
compA group1
compB group1
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
