Re: st: -outreg- issue

[John Luke Gallup <jlgallup@pdx.edu>]

Alberto,

The problem is using the "|" (the "or" character in Stata) in the -drop- option coefficient list.  I can't find any evidence that the "|" is allowed as part of factor variables notation, and it is not accepted by -outreg-.  I am also not clear on what you are trying to accomplish with the "|" character.
