Importing SQL Print Statement using OLEDB

Previously, I have used Excel's OLEDB process to import contents of entire tables, or tables based on SQL queries. However, now I have an SQL script which prints the statement to the SQL console, not to a table, so specifically, my process is falling down because there is no query table to write to (i.e. With Selection.ListObject.QueryTable). Is there a process where I can import the SQL Print message (or directly import the results pane from the SQL Analyzer) dynamically, without resorting to outputting the results to a file etc. FYI, the SQL code in question follows:

SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @crdate

DATETIME, @hr VARCHAR(50), @min VARCHAR(5)
SELECT @crdate=crdate FROM sysdatabases WHERE NAME='tempdb'
SELECT @hr=(DATEDIFF ( mi, @crdate,GETDATE()))/60
IF ((DATEDIFF ( mi, @crdate,GETDATE()))/60)=0
SELECT @min=(DATEDIFF ( mi, @crdate,GETDATE()))
ELSE
SELECT @min=(DATEDIFF ( mi, @crdate,GETDATE()))-((DATEDIFF( mi, @crdate,GETDATE()))/60)*60
PRINT 'SQL Server "' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),SERVERPROPERTY('SERVERNAME'))+'" is Online for the past '+@hr+' hours & '+@min+' minutes'
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses WHERE program_name = N'SQLAgent - Generic Refresher')
BEGIN
PRINT 'SQL Server is running but SQL Server Agent <<NOT>> running'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'SQL Server and SQL Server Agent both are running'
END
