Hello,

I would want to make something similar :

. local ad1 "E:\test1"

. local ad2 "\test2"

. export "`ad1'`ad2'" "myfile.csv", replace

but this is the Stata answer :

export: unknown subcommand "E:\test1\test2"

I can't find the syntax problem ?

Well... I tried all combinaisons with / and \, without results.
I even tried

 
 local ad1 "E:\test1"   
 export "`ad1'" "myfile.csv", replace

or

 
 local ad1 "E:/test1"   
 export "`ad1'" "myfile.csv", replace

I have found the problem, it comes from the backslash... and the quotes

good :

local ad1 "E:/test1"
export delimited using  "`ad1' /myfile.csv", replace

not good (in #11) :

export delimited using  "`ad1'" "/myfile.csv", replace
