Re: st: Loop: matching variables (in order)

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

The key here, if I understand you correctly,  is that you need one
loop, not two.  You are halfway there with your graph names. Also,
-tsline- can take a varlist

foreach x of varlist apple-biorad {
      tsline `x' `x'_m30 if datum >= `=date("01jan2010", "DMY")'
      graph export Grafiken/`x'_m30.png, replace
}
