Hi Statalist,
I have problems importing some kind of txt files into Stata 14
I have few files in txt format with Tab delimited. Variable names are on the first raws of the txt files and contains embedded spaces.
I have already tried to import txt files by using the following STATA command:
import delimited " path/to/my/file/filename.txt", case(preserve)
by applying this command Stata give me the following message:
"Note: 792.850.604 binary zeros were ignored in the source file. The first instance occured on line1. Binary zeros are not valid in text data. Inspect your data carefully"
What does that mean? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
