Importing*.sav files from sub-directories using loop.

[Sonnen Blume]

Hi,
I am trying to import .sav files from all sub-directories using the following, but nothing is happening. Can you please correct what I am doing wrong:

 cd  "dir"

local files: dir "." files "*.sav"

foreach file of local files {
  importsav `file', recursive
 }

(Importsav from ssc)

Thank you.

Sonnen Blume Are these files you're getting public? That is, is there a URL I can go to to get these, too?

Anyways: What do you mean by nothing is happening? Are you expecting for all of these files to be imported at once, stacked on top of one another?

I presume you're using Stata 17, and if I'm not mistaken, Stata 17 just allows you to import SPSS data now, right?
