Regular expression is used frequently nowadays. Stata's help file on regular expression, that is -regexm-, -regexr-, and -regexs- is too simple. Suppose there is a string variable which sotre letters & numbers, and some of letters is in lowercase. Now I want to uppercase them. Surely I can use string function -strupper()- to achieve that. And what's the regular expression equivalent to it?
Code:
. input str10 address
address
1. abcd1010
2. BDTY0204
3. TWcb0203
4. jbtw0987
5. jbFL0105
6. xtbJ0108
7. end
. generate address_upper=strupper(address)
. list

| address addres~r |
|---------------------|
1. | abcd1010 ABCD1010 |
2. | BDTY0204 BDTY0204 |
3. | TWcb0203 TWCB0203 |
4. | jbtw0987 JBTW0987 |
5. | jbFL0105 JBFL0105 |

6. | xtbJ0108 XTBJ0108 |
