I want my string values to become numeric values

Code:

* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
clear
input str26(q11r1_facebook q11r2_instagram q11r3_twitter q11r4_snapchat q11r5_pinterest q11r6_tiktok q11r7_linkedin q11r8_strava)
"I use frequently"           "I use frequently"       "I would consider using"     "I use frequently"    "I use frequently"           "I use frequently"           "I would consider using"     "I've never heard of"       
"I would NOT consider using" "I use frequently"       "I would NOT consider using" "I use occassionally" "I would NOT consider using" "I would NOT consider using" "I would consider using"     "I've never heard of"       
"I use frequently"           "I would consider using" "I would consider using"     "I use frequently"    "I would consider using"     "I would consider using"     "I use occassionally"        "I've never heard of"       
"I use frequently"           "I use frequently"       "I would NOT consider using" "I use frequently"    "I use occassionally"        "I would NOT consider using" "I would NOT consider using" "I've never heard of"       
"I use frequently"           "I use occassionally"    "I would NOT consider using" "I use occassionally" "I use occassionally"        "I would NOT consider using" "I would NOT consider using" "I would NOT consider using"
end

I have these variables. And they share the same value label:
I use frequently
I use occassionally
I would NOT consider using
I would consider using
I've never heard of

I want them to be, say, 5,4,3,2,1 to do future regression.

What's the easiest code?
