Dear Stata List Members ,
I am working on a data set of a hospital where one of the variables has string values as observations .
I am able to convert numeric string values to numeric values using destring command.
But I have some of the observations as "< 4", "<0.04","less than 0.1" which needs to be converted to zero .
In Stata we have option to convert nonmumeric values to missing values , but I need to convert them to Zero .
I would really appreciate guidance for the stata list members .
Thank you ,
Sincerely
Anwar
