Drop variables
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^dropvars^ list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^dropvars^ drops the variables that match the varlist specifications in list.
|
||
|
|
In contrast with ^drop^, ^dropvars^ allows terms in list that do not match
|
||
|
|
any variables; ^drop^ complain if any variable does not exist, and then
|
||
|
|
drops nothing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^dropvars list^ is equivalent to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^for any list : capture drop X^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

|
Example
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. ^dropvars a* b*^
|
||
|
|
drop all variables that start with either a or b.
