Description

For this group, each record is a different kind of setting.

Records

Stata appID Is a string that goes at the beginning of the main window title. It's used to identify the window as Stata to other applications/processes. You can set it to empty.

wformat is a pattern for the main window title (after the Stata appID).

When the current data source or instance is updated, the main window title is updated to reflect it. You can specify what shows in the window title with this setting.
It can include whatever text you like, including the following special placeholders:

Placeholder Replaced with

%i The instance id of this instance of Stata

%p For usel/savel, the path to the datafile

%pn For usel/savel, the first n subdirectories of the path (n from 1 to 9)

%p-n For usel/savel, the last n subdirectories of the path (n from 1 to 9)

%f For usel/savel, the file-name

%e For usel/savel, the file extension

%e? For usel/savel, the file extension, only if it is not .dta

%c For other commands, the name or identifier of the command

The default format is: %i %f%e?%c -- instance-id, and then either the local file-name (for usel and savel) or the command name (for sql and clearl).
The file extension is displayed only if it's not .dta.

Leading and trailing spaces in format are ignored.

fromEditor path is the filepath to use for code being passed from an external editor to Stata.

dobreak is markup for code being passed in from an external editor. When code is executed based on the cursor position instead of an explicit selection,
all the code will be executed from the prior dobreak up to the next dobreak.
