Estout / esttab: Include both variables labels from a foreach loop in the table title

[Felix Kaysers]

I am using a foreach loop incombination with the estout package in Stata to automatically report a lot of regressions. The reporting works nicely with one exception. When using

 `var lab `j'

with two independent variables, the variable labels do not get printed in the title because j is assigned to two independent variables and estout returns the following message "race not allowed" and "never_married not allowed". Is there a way to include both variable labels in the title? I tried subsetting the j variable using `j[1]' but it only returns the error "nothing found where name expected".

webuse nlsw88.dta, clear

local dvs wage hours
local alls `aiv' `biv'

local c 0
foreach i of local dvs {
local c = `c' + 1
local f = 0
foreach j in "age race" "married never_married" {
local f = `f' + 1
eststo model`c'`f': reg `i' `j'
esttab model`c'`f' using Regressionloops.rtf, append se label onecell nomtitles nogaps title(\page "Title DV = `: var lab `i'' & IV = `: var lab `j''")

}
eststo drop *
}

Stata Version: 8
OS: Windows 10

I can get this to work:

webuse nlsw88.dta, clear

local dvs wage hours
local alls `aiv' `biv'

local c 0
foreach i of local dvs {
local c = `c' + 1
local f = 0
foreach j in "age race" "married never_married" {
local f = `f' + 1
eststo model`c'`f': reg `i' `j'
tokenize `j'
esttab model`c'`f' , append se label onecell nomtitles nogaps title("\page Title DV = `: var lab `i'' & IV = `: var lab `1'' `: var lab `2''")
*

}
eststo drop *
}

but when I add the using part, it fails due to "too few quotes"

not sure why

actually it does work. just changed the name of the file and all worked properly.

Dear George,
this worked, when I copy pasted your code and rewrote my code from scratch. Thank you so much!
