How to erase multiple graphs from file?

[Sara Khan]

Hello


I am generating several charts but would like to delete after graph combine. I have tried the following:

foreach v in 0 1 8 {
foreach x in CCL17 CXCL10 CXCL11 CCL18 {
profileplot RCCL220_`x'0 RCCL221_`x'1 RCCL228_`x'8 if nmissccl22==0 , saving(CCL22`x'.gph)
}
}

fs *.gph
graph combine `r(files)'

local list : dir .  files "*.gph"
foreach f of local list {
    erase "`f'"
}

Local list does not list my graphs and the loop does not result in erased charts. I would be very grateful for any help on this.

Many thanks!

Instead of option saving() use option name(), then the graph will be saved to Stata's memory, rather then your disk.
You can then graph drop it or clear all.

Thank you. The issue with that was that I couldn't use

graph combine _all

I didn't want to specify each graph name for graph combine.

And you don't have to!

clear all
sysuse auto

twoway scatter price weight, name(g1) mc(red)
twoway line    price length, name(g2) lc(green)

quietly graph dir
graph combine `r(list)'

Perfect! Thanks so much.
