Returning a struct to another script

Hey, I am working on a game, and I need to record some stats of an enemy, so that I can copy them and apply them to another enemy later.

So I call the struct function with this line in script A:

 targetStats.getStats();

which uses this code from script B:

 public struct statLine
 {
     public string name;
     public int lvl;
     public int hp;
     public int atk;
     public int def;
     public int spd;
     public int spcl;
 }

 public statLine getStats()
 {
 
     statLine stat = new statLine();
 
     stat.name = myName;
     stat.idnum = ID;
     stat.lvl = level;
     stat.hp = health;
     stat.atk = attack;
     stat.def = defense;
     stat.spd = speed;
     stat.spcl = special;
 
 
     return stat;
 }

How can I use this data in script A? I've tried making an identical struct and doing this:

 recordStats stat = new recordStats();
 
 stat = targetStats.getStats();
 
  public struct statLine
     {
         public string name;
         public int lvl;
         public int hp;
         public int atk;
         public int def;
         public int spd;
         public int spcl;
     }

I've tried playing around with passing parameters as well, and I'm out of ideas, short of using a separate function for each stat instead of a struct.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
