To expand on the answer of #q216036 : you can use rostopic in your launch file exactly like you are using it in command line. You just need to set the attributes pkg and type to rostopic, then you can use the attribute args to pub/echo/info/list etc..with the propper arguments corresponding.
For example you can do :
<node pkg="rostopic" type="rostopic" name="name" args="list" output="screen"/>
This will simply output the result of rostopic list.
If you want to echo a topic, the template would be :
<arg name="topic_name" default="A_TOPIC_NAME"/>
<node pkg="rostopic" type="rostopic" name="name"
args="echo $(arg topic_name)" output="screen"/>
Like that you can call your launch file and specify the topic in command line :
roslaunch YOUR_PACKAGE YOUR_LAUNCH_FILE topic_name:=YOUR_TOPIC
