Re: st: the use of loop function in Stata

Thank you, Steve and Till. Below is the revised syntax, but I got an error message of "variable lnamelist not found". Isn't lp* the list? This is the first time I use the loop function, so any suggestion would be appreciated.
foreach lname in lnamelist lp*{
histogram `lname', by(AI4, col(1))
graph save histogram`lname', replace
}

You will also need to add the -replace- option to the histogram command.

>> Nick, thank you very much for the further advice, which makes the syntax more efficient. Given the loop syntax I have, how to save all the histogram graphs? If I use the code below, the error message says: "file histogram.gph already exists".
