Comparing T-statistics through a program

Going off of this post:

is there already a way to view t-statistics (or any of the descriptive statistics) of an equation in program/command form?

I want to compare t-statistics of two equations generated by the program, in the same program. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you.

You can use the @tstats data-member of an equation for this. Thus if your equation is called eq1 and you want to retrieve the t-stat of the second coefficient, you would use eq1.@tstats(2)
