If all the variables that end up as strings are numerical, Austin`s oneliner
is the way to go. If there are strings that you want -encode-d - which is
what your subject line made me think - apply my solution afterwards...

Subject: st: encode question
Dear all,
I have a dataset that I imported from Excel using insheet. However, many
numerical variables (I have about 200 variables) are now showed as string
variables.
My question is the following: how can I transform each string variable
into numerical one - and also replicate their names - without having to
encode manually each one of them?
Thank you very much in advance for any help, I would very much appreciate
it.
Arina
