Importing variable with special characters, strings and numbers
Importing variable with special characters, strings and numbers

Dear Stata users,

I am experiencing problems in importing a variable from a csv file. This variable values contains #, %, numbers and strings (example "1MISE#CSEE-N0115-CZ-1"). The problem is that these are imported all as numeric missing values. My guess is that special characters (# - %) cause the problem. Do you have a fix for this? My idea is to modify all csv's using other programs but I would rather do this directly importing the variable directly in Stata. I am currently using Stata14.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
