Is this the correct place to report an apparent error in parsing?
this is Stata/SE 17.0 for Windows (64-bit x86-64). Revision 05 Oct 2021
For my own reasons, I created a string variable that includes brackets. While the tab command can parse and present a table with this string variable, the table command cannot. I uploaded sample data and the do file. I tried to upload the log file as well but got an error message. Pasting the relevant part of the log file here. I also tested with a string variable whose values do not begin with the bracket but have the bracketed text appended to the end. Got the same error message.
. clear
. use sample_data_bracket.dta
. tab bigstring
bigstring | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
[1 big] | 22 25.29 25.29
[2 big] | 37 42.53 67.82
[4 big] | 24 27.59 95.40
[6 big] | 4 4.60 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 87 100.00
. table (bigstring)
invalid tag;
open bracket '[' not found
r(198);
end of do-file
I hope I included the necessary information.
I have a work-around available that will use another character to delimit the "big" notation in the string.
