Hi,

I had written a small shell script.

export MYCURRENTDIR=`pwd`
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
VALUE=`sqlplus -silent scott/tiger <<END
set feedback off;
set heading off;
select ename from emp ;
exit;
END`
echo $VALUE
cd $MYCURRENTDIR

But it will display the data in one line

SMITH ALLEN WARD JONES MARTIN BLAKE CLARK SCOTT KING TURNER ADAMS JAMES FORD MILLER

I want to display one record in one line.

Please guide me.

Regards
Janet Wilson

Try one of the following:

IFS="\n"
echo $VALUE

for ROW in $VALUE; do
  echo $ROW
done

Hi Frank,

It's working fine.
Both are working fine.
For loop is giving a good display than IFS.
Thanks.
