adoedit cmdname
Description
adoedit attempts to edit whichever ado-file named
After a successful edit, the discard command is issued so that Stata will load the revised ado-file. This will also clear any estimates from the last estimation.
If you wish to edit ado-files with a different text editor, please see fedit and the texteditors modules on the SSC archive.
cmdname.ado is first
on the current adopath. One cannot edit files
larger than 32,000 bytes in the do-file editor, nor can one edit built-in commands. This routine is designed for use by
those who are writing their own ado-files; users are exhorted to make a copy of any official ado-files, and to save
modified official ado-files in the ado directory, rather than the Stata directory.
adoedit cmdname.adoSpecifying the ado file extension is tolerated.
After a successful edit, the discard command is issued so that Stata will load the revised ado-file. This will also clear any estimates from the last estimation.
