Hi everyone,
This might have a simple solution but I'm stuck.
I have a set of variables that goes like qn2_2__10 qn2_3__10 qn2_3a__10 head__10 qn2_4__10 qn2_5__10 qn2_6__10 qn2_8__10 qn2_9__10 qn2_10__10
I want to remove one space i.e. "_" from these variables (eg change qn2_2__10 to qn2_2_10) and the command rename *_# *#works but it removes one space "_" for all the variables in my dataset. Is there a way I can limit it to only the required variables?
I thought I may get lucky by using a loop (below) but it also performed the change in the whole dataset.
foreach var of varlist qn2_2__10-qn2_10__10 {
rename *_# *#
}
