 Thanks to all who responded, Appreciate it.

The grok approach was not working so had to go with the following one.

Now just 1 more problem is that how I do I set the environment, say if I want to do set head off, in the following command can I do that?

The following command I had to do :-

echo "SELECT a.username,substr(sql_text,1,100) as \"SQL 
TEXT\",substr(sql_text,101,250) as \"Second Text\",substr(sql_text,601,250) as \"Third 
Text\",substr(sql_text,851,250) as \"Fourth Text \",substr(sql_text,1101,250) as 
\"Fifth Text \" FROM sys.dba_users a, v\$session, v\$sqlarea where parsing_user_id=user_id AND address=sql_address(+) and sid = #sid ; " | $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus #username/#passwd@$ORACLE_SID
