Subject: Use of host command from scripted SQL

Hello,

I was playing around with SQL*Plus and found that I could include the host command in my scripts, being a UN*X person I styarted trying to get the result of some simple commands (pwd, ls, grep, etc) back into SQL, but got no joy.

What I'm trying to do is something like:

DEFINE my_var = HOST pwd;

SELECT (HOST pwd) FROM dual;

Or somesuch... Is there a way to do this?

Thnks,

David.
