OK, but how would that work at all in a script? If it doesn't work in a script at all then what is the point of trying to use it in a script? Or is it working differently in a script? Maybe by displaying a list of window IDs? And, if yes, will the output look like this:
or, rather, like this:
or completely different from that? That, btw., was the background of Don Craguns request to show the output. To answer all these (and maybe some additional) questions by providing a sample. I count 7 question marks i used above (two of them implied) - all of them unnecessary if you would have trusted Don to know what he does and treating his request as legitimate.
OK, please repeat this command for a non-existing window and add echo $? - in other words, please tell us the return code. If there is a non-zero return code in case no window is found (and a zero return code if there is a window found) logic could be based upon that.
I hope this helps.
I remember than once, the xdotool command with Return did work.

xcb_reparent_window_checked
xcb_reparent_window(3) XCB Requests xcb_reparent_window(3)NAME
xcb_reparent_window - Reparents a window
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_reparent_window(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t window, xcb_window_t parent, int16_t x, int16_t y);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
window The window to reparent.
parent The new parent of the window.
x The X position of the window within its new parent.
y The Y position of the window within its new parent.
DESCRIPTION
Makes the specified window a child of the specified parent window. If the window is mapped, it will automatically be unmapped before repar-
enting and re-mapped after reparenting. The window is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.
After reparenting, a ReparentNotify event is generated.
RETURN VALUE
Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.
If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_reparent_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_window_error_t
The specified window does not exist.
xcb_match_error_t
The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent window.
The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the specified window.
The new parent is InputOnly and the window is not.
The specified window has a ParentRelative background and the new parent window is not the same depth as the specified window.
