General ⇒ How to input only part of the .tex file?

[yaozhao]

Code: Select all

\input{table1}

And my table1.tex file is:
& & & & & \\
& Mean&Standard Error& Mean&Standard Error& t-stats\\
Panel A. Contributions from all contributors& & & & & \\
Addition & 1105.53& 225.67& 538.01& 117.00& 2.89\\
Deletion & 528.96& 167.25& 174.57& 38.21& 2.32\\
Total & 1634.49& 389.77& 712.58& 153.13& 2.6

But I only need:
Panel A. Contributions from all contributors& & & & & \\
Addition & 1105.53& 225.67& 538.01& 117.00& 2.89\\
Deletion & 528.96& 167.25& 174.57& 38.21& 2.32\\
Total & 1634.49& 389.77& 712.58& 153.13& 2.69\\

The reason why I want to keep the original table1.tex is that this table1.tex file is formed from Stata. So if I change something in Stata, I don't need to make a change in LaTeX.

Your post is very unclear.
What is your question?

In such a case it would be better to export CSV instead of TeX code and then use something like datatool or pgfplotstable.
