It's a big subject that cannot be explained on these forums. I suggest you take the 2 Surface Automation training courses.

If some one have already tried the spy command prompt and tried to pass and retrieve data from Command Prompt .Please let me know.

If you programmatically run a command instead of using the CMD window, then you can capture the response but I'm not sure that would help you here. What command are you using?

You can copy that text via the clipboard, or programmatically capture it. Either way you will need to parse the text after capture.
