how to use rename option for factor variables?

[fredericky123]

No matter what I set, the factor variable is not be wrapped to one row

sysuse auto,clear
gen foreign1=foreign+1
eststo clear
eststo:reg price mpg i.foreign
eststo:reg price mpg i.foreign1
esttab, rename(foreign foreign1) label nobaselevels
esttab, rename(foreign foreign1) nobaselevels

The rename option takes individual coefficients, not variables.

Try this:

esttab, rename(1.foreign 2.foreign1) label nobaselevels

Thanks a ton! If I still have a 3.foreign2 need to be wrapped, how to set it?

Did you check out http://repec.sowi.unibe.ch/stata/estout/help-estout.html#stlog-1-rename? You'd do

rename(1.foreign 2.foreign1 1.foreign 3.foreign2)

If you have several models, none of which has the obviously correct coefficient names, then it may be most readable or intuitive to invent an entirely new coefficient name and rename everything to that, e.g.

rename(foo 1.foreign foo 2.foreign1 foo 3.foreign2)

I see, thanks! Sorry not to understand the manaual correctly.
