The variables are named "apple_pre" or "pre_banana" with the corresponding post variables named "apple_post" or "post_banana". The variables are in no particular order. apple_pre orange_pre orange_post pre_banana apple_post post_banana person_1 person_2 person_3 ... person_x How do I: 1. Run a series of paired t-tests for the apple_pre variables and pre_banana variables? Would be great to do something like ttest(*.*pre*.*,*.*post*.*). 2. Print the results from these t-tests in a table with col 1=mean difference, col 2= 95% conf interval, col 3=p-value.
