Re: st: Repeatedly limiting the variables that are shown in the editor window

[Scott Merryman <scott.merryman@gmail.com>]

You could save the set as a -note- and then use -local list: char ...-
 to bring the note into a local macro


. sysuse auto,clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. note: price mpg gear

. save "test_auto.dta",replace
file test_auto.dta saved

. clear*

. use "test_auto.dta", clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. local list :char  _dta[note2]

. browse `list'
