Matthew, it has been an observation in this list that you get a much
higher chances of getting responses and faster responses if you
supplement your question with a starter like this:
sysuse auto
levelsof rep78, local(levs)
foreach lev in `levs' {
regress price weight if rep78==`lev'
}
** eof
Then all one has to do is a little edit to the code to get the answer you seek:
sysuse auto
levelsof rep78, local(levs)
foreach lev in `levs' {
local cmd `"regress price weight if rep78==`lev'"'
display `"`cmd'"'
`cmd'
}
** eof
Best, Sergiy
