Re: st: profile.do file

[Glenn Hoetker <Glenn.Hoetker@asu.edu>]

My profile.do consists of several shortcuts for things I either do repeatedly or can never remember the context for:


// To display all the dta files in the current directory
capture program drop dta
program define dta
	ls *.dta
end

// To display all the do files in the current directory
capture program drop ddo
program define ddo
	ls *.do
end

// To open the current directory in the Finder (may need to be tweaked for other than Mac)
capture program drop oo
program define oo
	!open .
end


//To turn trace on.  Optionally, "stn #" sets tracedepth to #. Otherwise, it leaves it unchanged.
capture program drop stn
program define stn
	if "`1'" != "" {
	 set tracedepth `1'
	}
	set trace on
end

//Turn trace off
capture program drop stf
program define stf
	set trace off
end

//Edit the profile.do file, since I can never remember where it is
capture program drop editprofile
program define editprofile
	 doedit "/Users/ghoetker/Library/Application Support/Stata/profile.do"
end
