Do you mean the text created by something you run on the command line? Use the system command's second output argument:

 >> [status, cmdout] = system('echo "Hello, World"', '-echo')
 Hello, World

 status =

     0

 cmdout =

 Hello, World

Yes! It is similar kind of this but what exactly I want is to read run time output generated by "mdfimport" function. I have created an .exe from m code, which is printing data on console window. Data printed on console is not constant it varies for every different input file. I have to read that data & take action appropriately.
