I read one response from you is export all data to eclipse and then use metadata api to get list of all workflow rules.
I have similar requirement where i need to pull List of workflow rules using metadata api.
Can some one point me to any example or sample code?

Metadata API
This can be accomplished using the listMetadata operation on the Metadata API.
There is some sample Java code at the bottom of the documentation.
If your wanting to use Apex there is also a wrapper library here you can use, along with a sample here. The following is an Apex Metadata API (wrapper) example, but you'll find it in alignment with the requirement from other langauges such as Java and .Net.
Tooling API
There also seems to be support for querying via the Tooling API the Workflow object, which will likely give you more information than just the FileProperties. There is also an Apex wrapper for this API here.
