Get Roger Newson's -stcmd- command from SSC
findit stcmd
The problem is then simple...
forvalues y=1983/2004 {
stcmd mat`y'.xls mat`y'.dta
}
Hope this helps

Subject: st: sequential file conversion possible ?
Dear Statalisters,
I have multiple (more than 20) Excel-format files, named like
mat1983.xls, mat1984.xls etc.
And I'd like to convert them into Stata-format ones using
StatTransfer. But it is tedious to do so one by one.
So, I wonder if it is possible to convert them sequentially
and automatically from within Stata (using a script file
if necessary).
# I'm having StatTransfer 7 at hand.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.
K.I.
