Loops graphs by group error in saving

[Chiara Piazzo]

Dear all,

I am trying to generate graphs using loops and levelsof by regions and would like to save them before combining. I am using the code and data below.

The code for the graph runs but I get the following error for the saving part;

file m_`"Australia and New Zealand"'.gph could not be opened

I realize that this is due to the values of the region variable but I cannot figure it out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards,

Chiara

    foreach i of local levelregion {
    lowess m year if region== `"`i'"', mean recast(line) ///

    title(`"`i'"') ytitle("M", size(small)) yscale(titlegap(3)) xtitle(Year) ///
    addplot(lowess y year if region== `"`i'"', yaxis(2) ///
    ytitle("Y", size(small) axis(2)) ylabel(#3, labsize(small) axis(2)) yscale(titlegap(3) axis(2))) ///

    saving(m_`"`i'"', replace)

Since the name of the graph has embedded spaces the entire name needs to be bound by quotation marks. Try:

 ... saving("m_`i'", replace)
