forval i = 1/2 skip a few, 99/100 { ...

[Alex Stead]

Hi all,

Let's say I want to loop over values 1 to 100 using forval, but I want to skip a few in between. What is the best way to do this? Thanks,

Alex

forval i=1/100 {
  if inlist(`i',7,17,37) continue

  // ... do my stuff with `i' here

}

see help for continue

forval i=1/100 {
if inlist(`i',7,17,37) continue

// ... do my stuff with `i' here

}

Thanks! I have also just found out about the inrange function, which can also be used (and may avoid typing out a long list of numbers in some situations).
