hi,
suppose that I have the folllowing table:
text |
---|
The banks and financial companies |
The bankers association |
First bank of England |
financial banking institutions |
If either the element "banks" or "financial" is present in an entry, then the new dummy variable =1, else 0.
So the table should be like this:
text | Header 2 |
---|---|
The banks and financial companies | 1 |
The bankers association | 0 |
First bank of England | 0 |
financial banking institutions | 1 |
thank you!

thanks Xia, your posts are very helpful, (as well as the posts of the other users)!
I actually tried to do this myself and even experimented with prxmatch, but even the smallest syntax inaccuracy can make the whole code not work (or work in an unintended way ...)
Thanks again!
