Analysis of egonet data: Can I use forfiles to join multiple output datasets?

Malcolm Alexander All Messages By This Member #6818 Hi Steve (and group) I often get asked how to deal with multiple egonet datasets. Forfiles in CLI will run a function like cohesion over multiple files as long as the names are consistent (i.e. egonet1, egonet2....). This produces more multiple files/datasets; egonet1-coh, egonet2-coh... (as explained in Perry, Pescosolido and Borgatti) I want to aggregate them into one dataset (i.e. Joincols) in order to run Univariate Stats across the whole array. The join columns procedure in the main menu (-> Data ->Join) requires one to select each output file one at a time which is tedious when one has lots of cases. Similarly the CLI joincols requires each file name to be entered. I have experimented with the forfiles procedure with joincols but cannot make it do this aggregation (concatenation). Any suggestions? Cheers, Malcolm. PS: Does the forfiles procedure still accept the ? for a single character wild card? It didn't seem to work for me, I had to use the *.

Malcolm Alexander All Messages By This Member #6822 Is allowing multiple selections (with the Shift key) something that was changed in the last couple of years? I used to find it frustrating not to have that facility. Other possibility is that I have just upgraded to Windows 11 and perhaps that is it. Anyway thanks for the help. Cheers, M.
