Hi. If you are using the development version, then you can use the
following:
TITLE=`screen -S <session-name> -Q title`
This uses the recently added 'remote-query' feature to request the title
of a window.
You can get the development version at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git
Cheers,
Sadrul
