To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: general question....

before i go reinvent the wheel:

i need to scan the alert logs for a number of databases for any ORA lines and print out a couple of lines before and a couple of lines after each occurrence. {V7 & 8 on solaris and hp-ux] and no tail just gives me a lot of "tablespace blah end backup" lines thanks to EMC's EDM. :-( and yes i know i can tail more lines but they've just imposed size limits on emails.:-( hence my quest for just those lines and the date line before them.

so does anybody have a script to do this that they're willing to share? or a pointer to one?

thanks
