My root directory contains things like . and ,
So if I write
global root "C:/Users/Owner/0. Lyx,R/2000, AAA/"
global data1 "${root}Data\"
use ${data1}data
then it says
invalid 'Lyx'
How can I fix this problem?

1As my answer to the other question explains, you need to use double quotes in `use` to take into account the spaces. Commas and periods have nothing to do with it. – Dec 12 '18 at 10:10

@PearlySpencer I already tried double quotes but that didn't work. It seemed Stata considers `,` inside the double quotes as something non-literally-texual – user42459 Dec 12 '18 at 17:42

This does not make sense. On my computer with the same directory names I cannot replicate the problem. Everything works fine. – Dec 12 '18 at 18:21

You need to use double quotes as follows: `use "${data1}data"` – Dec 12 '18 at 18:22

Did you ever solve this? – Jan 15 '19 at 16:39

@PearlySpencer Yes I think I was just mistaken in the first place. – user42459 Jan 26 '19 at 23:39
