Please RTFM. The doc string of M-! says, inter alia:
If COMMAND ends in ‘&’, execute it asynchronously.
The output appears in the buffer ‘*Async Shell Command*’.
That buffer is in shell mode. You can also use
‘async-shell-command’ that automatically adds ‘&’.
Otherwise, COMMAND is executed synchronously. The output appears in
the buffer ‘*Shell Command Output*’. If the output is short enough to
display in the echo area (which is determined by the variables
‘resize-mini-windows’ and ‘max-mini-window-height’), it is shown
there, but it is nonetheless available in buffer ‘*Shell Command
Output*’ even though that buffer is not automatically displayed.
(The user manual has a similar text.)
So the text you want is still available in an Emacs buffer, and you
can take it from there.
Closing.
