Title
logout -- Converts log or ASCII files into various output formats
Syntax
logout, [options : command]
Description
logout provides a fast and easy way to convert log or ASCII files into various output formats compatible with Word, Excel, LaTex, or Stata datafile. Can be used as a prefix or by itself after a log file has been created.
More specifically, logout will import plain-text files into tab-delimited format, which is then converted into the output format of choice. The default method is tab/space-delimited, along with a list of usual suspects. Alternatively, infix method can be used when the column position is meaningful.
Can also be used to chew through dirty files such as html, etc. Will also chew through any ASCII log files, including those produced SAS, SPSS, etc. In Stata, you can use caplog to create log files on the fly.
table and tabstat are automatically handled by fix method.
Command
Any command accepted, i.e. estimation commands, tabulation, summary, descrition, etc.
