How to specify an action over a specific data range use foreach or forval

[Christina Pastoria]

I'm pretty new to Stata and have been struggling with something that I know shouldn't be this difficult. I am trying to reverse geocode a dataset of 14,000 observations, but can only evaluate 2,500 observations per day for free. I already did the first 2,500 and am now trying to do the next 2,500. I can't figure out how to write a loop so that the command executes over observations 2,500-5000. Right now, I'm just testing the logic by trying to display the values of variable 'latitude' for observations 2501-2506.

This is what I have been trying:

foreach i of list latitude 2501/2506 {
2. di `i'
3. }

And I'm getting an invalid syntax error.

I also tried

foreach i in latitude 2501/2506 {
2. di latitude
3. }

For this one, it returns the latitude value of observation 1 twice.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
