I have only one instance, but it will still work. To make Jared's heart beat faster, this also works: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $HOME=$ENV{"ORACLE_HOME"}; my $SID=$ENV{"ORACLE_SID"}; die "Please check your Oracle environment vars!\n" if (!defined $HOME or !defined $SID); my $file="$HOME/dbs/spfile$SID.ora"; open (IN,"<",$file) or die "Cannot open $file:$!\n"; while () { print $_ if ( $_ =~ /^\*\./) ; } That is, essentially, the same as: egrep --binary-files=text "^\*\." $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile$ORACLE_SID.ora -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA Note: This message is for the named person's use only.
