Abstract. The file command provides a way to produce tables for use in other
application software. It can be especially useful for combining descriptive
results (such as means and percentages) and results from significance tests.
Extracting and manipulating the results directly from Stata matrices gives
more control over arrangement, while other Stata functions may be used to
control numeric formats. This tutorial includes examples based on survey
data of both plain text and HTML output.
