st: Reply: Setting default .do file template?

[graupel75@gmail.com]

Dear Rebecca,

Thanks for the response!  I am hoping to have the second of your
options- when opening a new .do file, I'd like my general header
information and pre-analysis commands to appear by default:

************************************************
* Project:
* Analyst:
* Date:
* This file:
************************************************

version 12
clear all
macro drop _all

Your suggestion of -doedit "filepath\template.do"- will certainly
work, but is there a way to change the default file? (A minor detail,
yes, I know!).

cheers, and thanks again-

Andrew Lover

Dear all,

My question: how to personalize the default .do file template when
opening a new .do file editor?

I had thought I saw a note in John Long's "Workflow of Data Analysis"
book, but alas.... I've also done quite a few searches of the archives
as well, but the search terms are too general. My apologies, as I
suspect this has been aired before.

cheers-
Andrew Lover
