In jtilly/statascraper: Extract Data from Stata Log Files

Description

This package scrapes STATA log files, looks for tables generated by tab, tabstat, list, reg, and areg and then returns these tables as R matrices or stores them as comma separated value files. This package can be useful, when researchers (have to) use STATA to work with data sets but want to use R to analyze and display results.

Examples

# In this example, we scrape the Stata log file "test.log" that was created
# by "stata.do"

# point to stata log file
logfile = paste(system.file("example", package = "statascraper"),
                "test.log", sep = .Platform$file.sep)

# read tab commands
read.tab(filename = logfile, outdir = ".", RData = TRUE, tag = "tab2r")
head(load.RData("tab.RData"))
head(load.RData("tabsum.RData"))

# read tabstat commands
read.tabstat(filename = logfile, outdir = ".", RData = TRUE, tag = "tabstat2r")
head(load.RData("tabstat.RData"))

# read list commands
read.list(filename = logfile, outdir = ".", RData = TRUE, tag = "list2r")
head(load.RData("list.RData"))
