Outputting formatted data in fixed format

    outfixt varlist [if] [in] using filename, cols(numlist) [ format
            flist(string) dct(filename [, replace])]

Description

    outfixt lists varlist in filename.

Remarks

    outfixt writes variables to a text file in fixed format, at specific
    column numbers.


Options 

    cols(numlist) is a required option specifying the columns in which the
        values for each variable should start. outfixt checks only that the
        numbers in numlist are ascending integers. It is the user's
        responsibility to check that the column specification provides enough
        space for data to be shown properly.

    format specifies that the format of each variable should be used in
        listing. The format may be used to control number of decimal places
        shown and right- or left-justification. See format.

    flist(list) specifies a list of formats for each variable. See format.

    dct(filename) requests that a data dictionary be written to filename.

Example 

    sysuse auto, clear
    outfixt price weight mpg using auto.txt, cols(1 11 21)


Acknowledgement 

    outfixt is a modification of outfix2 (by Nick Cox) which takes ideas from
        a program outfix (by Gero Lipsmeier), both of which are on SSC.
