i want to write a command prompt statement which will fetch me the worksheet name of any excel file on a given location, so that i can use it in my sql procedure XP_cmd_shell command.

i dont want to use linked server to fetch excel worksheet name automatically, so i want to write a DOS Command that will fetch the worksheet name via command prompt. and then I can use that Command in my Store procedure without creating any linked server.

What I have tried:

-- Get table (worksheet) or column (field) listings from an excel spreadsheet

-- SET THESE!
declare @linkedServerName sysname = 'TempExcelSpreadsheet'
declare @excelFileUrl nvarchar(1000) = 'c:\MySpreadsheet.xls'
-- /SET

-- Remove existing linked server (if necessary)
if exists(select null from sys.servers where name = @linkedServerName) begin
    exec sp_dropserver @server = @linkedServerName, @droplogins = 'droplogins'
end

-- Add the linked server
-- ACE 12.0 seems to work for both xsl and xslx, though some might prefer the older JET provider
exec sp_addlinkedserver
    @server = @linkedServerName,
    @srvproduct = 'ACE 12.0',
    @provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
    @datasrc = @excelFileUrl,
    @provstr = 'Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes'

-- Grab the current user to use as a remote login
declare @suser_sname nvarchar(256) = suser_sname()

-- Add the current user as a login
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
    @rmtsrvname = @linkedServerName,
    @useself = 'false',
    @locallogin = @suser_sname,
    @rmtuser = null,
    @rmtpassword = null

-- Return the table/column info
exec sp_tables_ex @linkedServerName
exec sp_columns_ex @linkedServerName

-- Remove temp linked server
if exists(select null from sys.servers where name = @linkedServerName) begin
    exec sp_dropserver @server = @linkedServerName, @droplogins = 'droplogins'
end
