Abhimanyu,
I am not aware of an extended function for this, but a simple loop
might suffice.
loc x "a b c"
foreach k of loc x {
loc y `y' `k'_1
}
di "`y'"
Best
Daniel

Dear statalist
I have a macro say, x containing the string "a b c"
I would like to have a macro y such that y contains the string "a_1
b_1 c_1" ? Is there a simple way using sort of extended functions?
Many thanks
Cheers
Abhimanyu
