Get no. of times for loop has iterated

[Jack Reimer]

Is there a way that I can access the number of times a given loop is on. For example,

sysuse auto
foreach var in weight price mpg rep78 {

    /*1. Tabulate the variable*/
     tab `var'

     /*2. The no. of times this loop has iterated*/
     local iteration_no =
     di `iteration_no'
}

Where the desired output would be

A tabulation of weight

1

A tabulation of price

2

A tabulation of mpg

3

A tabulation of rep78

4

How can I define iteration_no to return the desired output. Thank you very much for your help.

sysuse auto
local iteration_no = 0
foreach var in weight price mpg rep78 {
     local iteration_no = `iteration_no' + 1      // local ++iteration_no would be more "Stata-ish"
    /*1. Tabulate the variable*/
     tab `var'
     /*2. The no. of times this loop has iterated*/
     di `iteration_no'
}
