It works for me. Using the following code: #!/bin/ksh #set -x sqlplus / <<EOF | tail -1 select sysdate from dual; exit EOF
I get: $ test.sh JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production $ With -x flag set: $ test.sh + tail -1 + sqlplus nri/nri + 0< /tmp/sh27884.2 JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production $ As previously mentioned, to get the last row of the actual output you need to use the '-s' flag, move the pipe to the command line and get rid of the blank lines: #!/bin/ksh set -x sqlplus -s / <<EOF | grep -v ^$ | sed -n '$p' select sysdate from dual; exit EOF $ test.sh + sqlplus -s / + sed -n $p + grep -v ^$ + 0< /tmp/sh28234.2 24.07.2002 $ or - without the -x flag (which I presume is the desired result): $ test.sh 24.07.2002 $ Chris -----Original Message----- Sent: 24 July 2002 12:18 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hmm, this still doesn't seem to work. -----Original Message----- Sent: 24 July 2002 10:38 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Oops, missed a quotation mark in earlier posting. Should have read: sqlplus -s / << EOF | grep -v ^$ | sed -n '$p' select sysdate from dual; exit EOF Regards Chris -----Original Message----- Sent: 24 July 2002 09:15 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Ross, You are hitting a couple of problems here: 1 - the 'tail' command needs to be on your first line (sqlplus / <<EOF | tail -1) 2. However, I suspect this will not give you what you want as sqlplus prints a blank line at the end. Try the following: sqlplus -s / << EOF | grep -v ^$ | sed -n '$p select sysdate from dual; exit EOF Grep will remove blank lines - sed will print last line. I'm sure there are many more ways of doing this. HTH, Chris -----Original Message----- Sent: 24 July 2002 05:53 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, Can any of our Unix gurus here transform my script below to work properly? The intention is to print the last line of the sqlplus output. With set -x, it appears anything after the last EOF is ignored. Why? Thanks.
