If all you care about is the values for X1 you could use quietly (see [P]
quietly) to suppress the output of regress and then use outreg (findit outreg)
to pull out the values for X1. Outreg creates a text file of the output you
desire that can be easily formatted into tables. Something like:
qui reg y x1 - x1000
outreg x1 using c:/stata/name.txt
Or if you just want a quick inspection of the coefficient and standard error for
X1 on the screen you could use display.
qui reg y x1 - x1000
disp _b[x1] " " _se[x1]
