Remove text up to and including "==" from variable labels 
---------------------------------------------------------

    ^labnoeq^ varlist 

Description
-----------

^labnoeq^ removes text up to and including "==" from the variable labels 
of the variables in varlist. The labels of any variables whose labels do 
not contain the text "==" are unaffected. 

Remarks 
-------

Some Stata commands generate variables and attach to them variable 
labels of the form 

        "varname == value" 
        
or of the form 

        "varname1, varname2 == value" 

This program offers a way of removing the text up to and including "==".
Note, however, that any variable label which contains "==" will be 
modified. 


Examples
--------

    . ^tab rep78, gen(rep78_)^  
    . ^labnoeq rep78_?^

    . ^separate weight, by(foreign)^ 
    . ^labnoeq weight?^
