I'm trying to link different business locations to appropriate zip codes using a do-file. I have business names in a name variable and created a new variable to hold the zipcode. Some of the business names are similar but they have a location indicator at the end such as "Office - Allendale" and "Office-Grand Rapids". I tried using a replace command with an if statement but it doesn't appear that I can use wildcards in that. Is there a way for me to do this? Below is how I'm currently doing it...
replace zip="49401" if locationname==" Office - Allendale"
This works for just a few instances but I have a health system with hundreds of entries so trying to avoid having to individually manage each one since they have the embedded location descriptor" Thank you!
