Log using..., replace t

[Heidi Ph]

Hello,

I am reading a do file, which use the command "log using..., replace t"
This is the first time I see option "replace t". I search it quickly on google but could not see what is the purpose of "replace t".
Is there any one having an idea on this?

Really appreciate your help.

Thank you,

-replace t- is two separate options. The -replace- option allows Stata to overwrite an existing file having the same name. The -t- option is an abbreviation for -text- and it tells Stata to create the log as a text file, rather than a SMCL file.

Got it, thank you a lot!
