Use -post- for this task. The following snippet may deal as a starting point.
It assumes that you have an identifier-variable "ID" which serially numbers
the 150 individuals. If you haven't such a variable create one with -egen,
group- (or use an approach with -levels-).
--------------------------------------------------
post xyz id coef using myfile, replace
forvalues i = 1/150 {
regress depvar indepvar if id==`i'
post xyz ('i') (_b[indepvar])
}
postclose xyz
----------------------------------------------------
Th code stores the coefficients of indepvar and the identifier variable in the
Stata-file "myfile.dta".
