Dear folks at the Stata Forums,
First of all, I'm sorry for not posting my data using dataex. I am prevented from doing so because my data width exceeds the max linesize (I attached the sample data to this post, I promise it's safe). I am working with a dataset that contains the texts of court's judgments. Basically, each observation is a long string of the entire paragraphs (the words are in Chinese). The problem is that when I open the data browser, click on an observation, and copy that to a notepad to read the content, only the first 900 characters are displayed. When I use the Strlen command, I can see that the observations contain more than 900 characters. The analysis I'm doing now requires me to read these contents, so it presents a problem.
The strange thing is that when I was using Stata 17, this was working: I can copy and paste the entire string. This problem only started to occur when I switched to a computer with Stata 18 (a school computer via remote access). Another strange thing with Stata 18 is that when I move my mouse to the observation, it shows me the preview of the data and the data browser would freeze for 20 seconds.
Let me know if what I'm asking doesn't make sense. I appreciate your help! One way to replicate my problem could be to copy a long paragraph of word into excel and import it into Stata.
