List command for listing non-contiguous observations

[ram singh]

Hi all
Is there a way to use list command with non-contiguous observations

for example if I wanted to list observation numbers 1/4 and then 8/15 and 20/22 in one line of code using the list command

regards
RS

I don't think there's anything completely simple,but you can accomplish it with:

gen byte toshow = inrange(_n, 1, 4) | inrange(_n, 8, 15) | inrange(_n, 20, 22)
list if toshow

Hello Ram. Try this. Replace v1 v2 v3 with your own variables.

list v1 v2 v3 if inrange(_n,1,4) | inrange(_n,8,15) | inrange(_n,20,22)
