Abstract: log2do2 extracts the command lines from a Stata text-format log file, creating a file of syntax (ie, a do file). The program recognizes commands as lines in the log that begin with a period followed by a blank space. It also recognizes command that are wrapped over multiple lines by Stata, and command that appear within foreach and forvalues loops. log2do2 uses the Stata 7 {help file} command to read and write the file. This command was in an update to Stata; be sure your Stata is fully up to date. The use of file allows log2do2 to preserve references to local macros in command lines.
