Summing columns using a wildcard

[abielr]

Is there anyway I can create a new series that is the sum of a collection of series, where the collection is specified with a wildcard? For example:

series x = sum(*_commonsuffix)

Here I want make x equal to the sum of all series ending in _commonsuffix.

Thanks.

Yes.

However how to do it depends on what sum you want. Whatever the answer, you'll need to create a group containing the series:

group mygroup *_commonsuffix
