下载并读取演示数据：

copy https://www.stata.com/examples/auto.csv auto.csv,replace
import delimited auto, varnames(nonames) clear

正常情况下，Stata会自动判断首行是否为变量，为了演示，我们加了选项varnames(nonames)，不让其检测，菜单对应的是First row as variable names→never,这样变量名就被读取为到第一行记录。

美国伊利诺大学吉斯商学院（Gies College of Business, University of Illinois）的副教授Julian Reif 博士开发了Stata社区命令autorename，autorename renames variables using a row of data. This can be useful when reading oddly formatted datasets.

安装Stata社区命令autorename：

ssc install autorename, replace
help autorename

然后，运行autorename命令，并查看结果：

. autorename
