st: reference to a single row of a stata matrix

[László Sándor <sandorl@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I might be missing a feature in my StataMP 13 for mac, or I encountered a bug.

I was using putexcel for the first time, and following the examples I
had lines like these:

reg y x1 x2
matrix aux = r(table)
matrix aux = aux[1,.]
putexcel A1=matrix(aux) using test.xlsx, sheet("Sheet1") modify

But this leaves the sheet blank, as aux becomes a 1x1 matrix of
missing values after the third line.

However, simply using
matrix aux = aux[1..1,.]
solves the problem.

I am not very familiar with Stata matrices, but if it's not only me,
perhaps it was worth pointing out.

Thanks,

Laszlo
