Rescaling variables

[Sarah McKenzie]

Hi,

I have a variable that's from 0.232 to 0.570 and I want to rescale it to be from 0 to 1, how can I do this please?

Many thanks

the trick is to get the multiplier which is equal to

1/(.57-.232)

which makes the formula

gen newvar=(oldvar - .232)*(1/(.57-.232))
