stata - Convert multiple dta files to tab separated files in Stata

Question

Is there a way to convert a number of dta files to tab separated files at once, without loading each data set into Stata?

Something like :

x<- get *.dta filenames from directory
foreach file_with_filename in x
     convert to tab separated file 

Apparently the outsheet function can be only used by referring to the dataset (or variable names) currently loaded in memory.

Thanks.

像这样的东西。这fs是您需要安装的便捷命令，但只需安装一次。

clear 
ssc inst fs, replace
fs *.dta 

foreach f in `r(files)' {
    use "`f'" 
    local newname : subinstr local f ".dta" ".txt" 
    outsheet using `newname'
}

请注意，这outsheet是一个命令，而不是一个函数。
