Macro loop to create labels for graph

[HP Williams]

Hi I have a graph and I want to add text labels at various points

I am trying to do this with a loop as the number of labels is large

I was trying to create a "text" string to append to the end of my graph code using the function

 text(y,x,string)

local row = 10
local txt = ""

forvalues n = 1/`row' {
    local txt = "`txt' text(0,`n',`""string_`n'""')"
}

dis "`txt'"

this give me the output

 text(0,1,` text(0,2,` text(0,3,` text(0,4,` text(0,5,` text(0,6,` text(0,7,` text(0,8,` text(0,9,` text(0,10,`

but I need:

 text(0,1,"string_1") text(0,2,"string_2") ...

I assume this is due to the fact that I am doing something wrong with compound double quotes since I need quotes in the string part of the text() command.

I cant figure out what is wrong.... any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
