Stata Tip

Producing an edited log file

Stata's log file reproduces what you see in the Results windows. Often there is a lot of material that is not needed for a final report and this material needs to be edited before presenting a report to others. Stata's log file can be edited from the do file as it is written. Just write a do file as is normally done and then decide what is required to be included.

The example below has 2 ways of contolling the final log file output:
1. Turning the log on and off so only the material that you wish to see is added
To do this write a few local macros at the start of the log file and include these where required between Stata commands.

2. Removing any text as required
Using filefilter to remove the unnessary text.

 

//set macros
local new "capture log using out1, text replace"
local on "capture log using out1,text  append"
local off "capture log close"


sysuse auto, clear    
`new'      

*this is a comment

`off'                                                //off
regress mpg weight

`on'                                                 //on
display "`e(rss)'"

`off'                                                //off
generate gpm=1/mpg

`on'                                                 //on

*this is GPM

summarize gpm
`off'                                                //off

type out1.log  //displays log file before filefilter

filefilter out1.log out2.log, from("off'") to(" ") replace
filefilter out2.log out3.log, from("`") to(" ") replace 
filefilter out3.log out4.log, from("  //off") to("") replace 
filefilter out4.log out5.log, from(".") to("") replace 

type out5.log  //displays log file
