Abstract: xtimportu imports long or wide (pivoted) monthly, quarterly half-yearly or yearly time series and panel data from a supported file type using standard Stata import syntax, filtering cross-sectional units with regular expressions (case-sensitive!) and encoding the matches (each match to a string, spaces are replaced with underscores "_") (if required), and returns long data as panelvar timevar valuevar to memory and/or to a file using standard Stata export and/or save syntax. Imported data are assumed to be wide if timevar is omitted.
