If I tab for values in Stata 12 and there is a long list of values, Stata 12 seems to pause and display More. It seems to want me to press Return (or perhaps any value) in order to continue. I did not notice this feature with earlier features of Stata, say Stata 11, meaning that when I would hit tab it would just display all of the values at once (presuming that the list was not too long and it did not result in an error). Is there a way around this in Stata 12 in which I would not be prompted to hit Return for such a long list?
Try set more off.

I have a column of values that are a number out of 10. So, it could be 2/10, 3/10, 4/10 and so on, all the way up to 10/10. To be clear, these are not dates, but simply showing how many questions the student answered correctly out of 10.
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight them a certain color depending upon the score they got. For 9/10 and 10/10, I'm wanting to use a certain color, but it doesn't seem to be working with REGEXMATCH or with OR. Also wanting to highlight all scores that are 6/10 or lower. I know that I could make this work by applying conditional formatting for each and every score with text contains but the problem I'm finding is that it thinks it's a date.
Is there a way to match multiple scores out of 10 using REGEXMATCH?
Link to Sheet
select column and change formatting to Plain text
now you can use formula like:
=REGEXMATCH(A1; "^9|10\/")
As i run more commands in Stata, the earlier output disappears from the window (i.e, if i scroll to the top, the earlier output is no longer there, suggesting that there is a set 'height' or number of rows of the output window).
Is it possible to change this setting, i.e., to increase the amount of output that is displayed?
Thanks to the suggestion in the comments - in case of relevance to anyone else, this can be achieved with the command:
set scrollbufsize 2000000
(or any value up to 2000000) - this takes effect the next time Stata is opened.
Ok, I just added a new feature to my student manager program (a console program written in c++) , it is a console application and my program print dates on which particular student is absent in a list format
by saying list format i mean 1 date on 1 line
this is how output looks like for student who is absent 5 times
1. 04/05/2016,Monday
2. 05/05/2016/Tuesday
3. 06/05/2016/Wednesday
(Assume dates are correct)
now since these are only 3 records that are printed on the screen, a user would not require scrolling down,
but in a case of 300 dates , it prints all dates but when i scroll up I'm not able to reach back to 1st date, for example, I'm only able to see last 147 Records only
and I'm not able to scroll my console window to 1st record.
I know many other ways to solve this problem (like displaying 10 records or 100 records at a time) but I want to know how can i solve this particular problem
please give answer considering me as a beginner. :)
Thank You.
(as far as code is concerned, i can assure you its nothing special, just a while loop that keeps on printing dates until certain terminating condition is met )
I have a dataset with observations at specific timepoints, but those timepoints (and the length of time between them) vary by group. I'm trying to "fill down" the data so that existing observations are carried down into missing cells. But I only want to do this for a certain number of rows after the original observation. So for example, I could have a dataset that looks like this:
For group A, I'd want to fill in the value for 2002 with 2001's value, 2004 with 2003, etc. I wouldn't want to fill in 2000 at all, since I don't have the preceding value. And I ALSO wouldn't want to fill in the 2011 value, because the "cyclelength" variable tells me that group A's observations are supposed to take place every two years, so I don't want to carry data forward past that. 2011 is just a genuinely missing value.
Similarly, in group B, I'd want to carry 2000's value forward into years 2001, 2002, and 2003 (because the "cyclelength" here is 4 years). I'd want to carry 2004's value into 2005, 2006, and 2007, but not beyond that--the later years should stay missing.
I've tried setting this up with the "carryforward" command, but haven't figured out how to have it stop filling down after a specified number of years that varies by group. Is there a way to do this, either with carryforward or otherwise?
This is a variation on a problem documented since 2000 as an FAQ: see here
The variation lies in limiting how far non-missing values are copied. But it falls easily to the same idea.
The last known value was recorded in certain years which we can copy down the dataset:
gen when_last_known = year if !missing(value)
bysort group (year) : replace when_last_known = when_last_known[_n-1] if missing(when_last_known)
Now the replacement wanted is
by group : replace value = value[_n-1] if missing(value) & (year - when_last_known) < cyclelength
That statement presupposes the sort order of the previous statement.
On Statalist (see here) you'd be expected to document that carryforward is a user-written command to be installed from SSC. That's a good convention here too.
In practice, it's good data management to keep the original data exactly as they arrive and do this on a clone of the variable. Sooner or later someone will ask to see the original values, and then you could be seriously embarrassed.
I am writing a script to delete folders older than a certain time window.
The issue I am having is with an If then statement.
If strCurrentAge > strAgeCutoff Then
strCurrentAge = date diff calculation (calculates days between now and the last modified date of the folder)
strAgeCutOff = AgeCutOff.value (textbox input value from an HTA... Typical value would be 30)
strAgeCutOff as a number.
strCurrentAge seems to be recognized as a number though.
Banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
If AgeCutOff is a text box, then AgeCutOff.value won't actually be a number, it will be text.
If you want a number from it, look into the CInt() function. You could also use CLng for a greater range but, unless you're talking about the ages of thngs that live substantially longer than humans, integers up to 32,000 should suffice.
