STATA PIPES


Reading compressed files from Stata programs


ABSTRACT

Stata can be used to read compressed raw data files on the fly, without decompressing them in a separate step before running Stata.


DESCRIPTION

The unix ``gzip'' command commonly achieves compression ratios of 80% for raw data files (see ``man gzip''). These compressed files (.gz files) can easily be read by Stata using named pipelines.
