Re: st: nested foreach loops using the values in the respective order

I'd prefer matrices for this case:
matrix TestPlan = 390, 0.50 \ 121, 0.30 \ 42, 0.20
forval i=1/`=rowsof(TestPlan)' {
local one = TestPlan[`i',1]
local two = TestPlan[`i',2]
display `"`one' `two'"'
}
//eof
390 .5
121 .3
42 .2
Note that it is also quite easy to load and save matrices, so that if
you have different test plans or simulations you can store them
separately from the code.
Best, Sergiy
