Hi,
I spent the night programming some stuffs but cannot understand why I
don't obtain the expected results. I was expecting "%" but got
"Value". What am I doing wrong?
noi se tr on
loc list1 a
loc list2 a b c
loc d
foreach j of loc list1 {
foreach k of loc list2 {
if "`j'" == "`k'" loc d %
else loc d Value
} // foreach k
}
di "`d'"
