The example you give silently invokes print.coxph() to produce that
output.
You _can_ use
tmp <- capture.output( print( <your example> ) )
and then further process tmp.
A _better_ solution for most purposes is to look at the object produced by
coxph() and figure out how to calculate the Wald statistic from that
object. See
?coxph.object
and
?str
Another tactic is to look at how print.coxph() does its work and use the
code in it to produce just the output you desire. Look at
page( survival:::print.coxph, "print" )
