infix with files that do not have suffixes

[Roger von Haefen]

I am trying to read in 1000s of raw data files with the infix command. The files have a numeric name with no suffix (e.g., 2001201). When I use the following command:

infix year 1-4 ..... using "2001201"

Stata assumes the file has the *.raw suffix, but it actually has no suffix. I have not discovered how to tell Stata there is no suffix to the file name. Any suggestions?

I believe you can solve this by adding a period to the end of the filename (https://ciser.cornell.edu/reading-as...-into-stata/):

infix year 1-4 ..... using "2001201."

That works. Thx!
