Is there a reason for the - local name "`var'"- line? I could also omit it
and pass -("`var'")- to the -postfile- and be just as happy, I think...

Subject: Re: st: .do file = sort by t-score?
Here is oneway:
sysuse auto
tempname memhold
tempfile results
postfile `memhold' str12 name double t using `results', replace
foreach var of varlist head-gear {
local name "`var'"
qui reg mpg `var'
matrix e =e(b)
matrix v = e(V)
local t = abs(e[1,1]/sqrt(v[1,1]))
post `memhold' ("`name'") (`t')
}
postclose `memhold'
use `results'
gsort -t
