"automation" is a pretty vague term. JRuby may be for you. But: what
do you want to do?

The thing is I have an application which is a CLI based, wherein you normally give in the cmds n gives the result. I want to make it a interactive onewherein it 'll ask for the cmd as input n then writes that result into a file. After that using regular expression would like to find the string which I intend to find and show how many of those strings are present in that file.

Is it fine?

So you want to add a kind of command shell. You could look at IRB for
inspiration.

Kind regards
