More than one log file

[Niels Henrik Bruun]

Hi
I would like to have more than one log file open at the same time.
Eg I would like to run the following;

. capture log close

. log using test1, replace
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      name:  <unnamed>
       log:  U:\Documents\STATA\Presentations\literate_programming\test1.smcl
  log type:  smcl
 opened on:   5 Jun 2017, 22:39:42

. log using test2, replace
log file already open
r(604);

The idea is if possible to direct different outputs generated in one process into several different log files

Niels,

you need to use a different syntax including giving a name to your new log file using the "name" option; here is an example:

log using aff3, replace text name(aff3)

where "aff3.log" is my second log file (I am not a fan of smcl)

Hi
Found out a solution myself. Just needed a name option in the second command

log using test2, replace name(test2)

Sorry to bother you all

Hi Rich
Thank you for your effort.
And I'm not not a fan of smcl, either
Kind regards nhb
