Dear all,

I am struggling for appending files in a folder. Now I have multiple datasets such as

household diaries.dta
household outcome.dta
household health.dta
(multiple more .dta files)

in one folder.

I know how I make a local list with all of them (to filelist)

local filelist: dir "files location" files "*.dta"

But how do I make a list by picking some of them, not all of them? Ex, making a filelist_1 with household diaries.dta and household outcome.dta
