substring - Stata: Systematically replace characters in a string variable -



substring - Stata: Systematically replace characters in a string variable -

i have observations list criminal codes string variables, not in format need. using stata 12, want replace substrings in string variable. example, need alter instances of cc 18, vc 75, , pc 35. so:

orginal variable cc547a1 | vc549f| pc5297 new variable 18547a1 | 75549f | 355297

the characters need alter in beginning. original variables not need changed.

i tried figuring out using substring command, couldn't adapt code correctly.

the substr() function (not substring(); not command) not helpful here sibling, subinstr(). documented in same place: start @ help functions.

. clear . input str7 myvar myvar 1. cc547a1 2. vc549f 3. pc5297 4. end . replace myvar = subinstr(myvar, "cc", "18", .) (1 real alter made) . replace myvar = subinstr(myvar, "vc", "75", .) (1 real alter made) . replace myvar = subinstr(myvar, "pc", "35", .) (1 real alter made) . list +---------+ | myvar | |---------| 1. | 18547a1 | 2. | 75549f | 3. | 355297 | +---------+

n.b. previous thread how find , replace part of string variable in stata?
