I want to execute a script file in sql-plus,
my script -file is located in C:/build/project/database/test-script.sql

to run this I am using
@C:/build/project/database/test-script.sql
am I doing it right because after I type the above command and press enter nothing happens ?

Yes this is correct.
Maybe the script is waiting for something and you have turn off termout.

I'm going to have to say that there is nothing in the script file, or nothing that produces any output. Since you haven't posted it, that's my assumption.

Try putting a semi-colon -> ; <- at the end of the last line, and if necessary a new empty line underneath.

I added semicolon and enter after last line, the script did print all table names but it did not create file called test.sql
and it gave this mesage "SP2-0311: string expected but not found"
what is this and why is it not creating test.sql file ?

"spool off" is missing.
Until you execute this or quit SQL*Plus the content of the file is not visible.
