need a script
« on: January 11, 2009, 07:54:26 AM »
Hello, I  need a bash script for the following situation: I have a text file and I need to extract every line that contains the expression "ORA-" and the line above it. I would like the result to be redirected to a separate file named result.txt. Any help is apreciated. I am a beginer in shell scripting.

      It's a one-liner...

      grep -B1 "ORA-" yourtextfilenamehere | grep -v ^\-\- > result.txt
