I have a string variable of auditor names called FSauditor that has a total of 4438 observations. I have generated a new variable called BigFSaudit which, currently, is all zeros (I used the command gen BigFSaudit = 0)
I want to replace BigFSaudit with 1 if the string var FSauditor has the following values:
Further, I want to replace BigFSaudit with 2 if the string var FSauditor has the following values:
If the value of FSauditor is missing (".n" above in the dataex list), then BigFSaudit should also be .n.
What is the most efficient way to achieve this? I would rather not use lots of -replace....if- statements. I tried using -inlist-, but it does not take more than 10 strings.

If the value of FSauditor is missing (".n" above in the dataex list), then BigFSaudit should also be .n.
What is the most efficient way to achieve this? I would rather not use lots of -replace....if- statements. I tried using -inlist-, but it does not take more than 10 strings.
