I have a file which can be of a variable length and with limited structure. In fact, it is a trace file from an Oracle 9i DB.

Here is the file in its entirity (-top- and -bottom- added by me):
-top-
Dump file /oracle/app/oracle/admin/IFST/udump/ifst_ora_27660.trc

ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0
System name: AIX
Node name: IFSSERVER
Release: 1
Version: 5

Instance name: IFST
Redo thread mounted by this instance: 1

which means deleting a lot of lines, adding a few and changing a few.

The idea is to allow me to refresh a test DB from a live one while keeping the script open enough (by running a modified control file) to not worry if teh source DB has expanded (ie extra dbfs)

I know I can sed /#/d to remove all lines with #.
I know I have to s/sourcedb/destdb to rename DB.

But how do I say delete every line up to but not including the second START NOMOUNT ?

Many thanks for any help!

A little script like this (not exactly elegant) will do the trick.

USAGE: script_name <oldfile> <newfile>

#/bin/ksh
rm -f $2
startup_count=0
while read line
do
wrk1=`echo $line | grep ^STARTUP | cut -d&quot; &quot; -f1`
if [ &quot;$wrk1&quot; = &quot;STARTUP&quot; ]
then
let startup_count=startup_count+1
fi
if [ &quot;$startup_count&quot; -gt 1 ]
then
echo &quot;$line&quot; >> $2
else
continue
fi
done < $1

Thats great, thanks. Can you advise how I can take this further? Within that script, to cease output after the ; (to lose the final lines) ?

I managed to do it, on my tod.

#/bin/ksh
rm -f $2
startup_count=0
while read line
do
wrk1=`echo $line | grep ^STARTUP | cut -d&quot; &quot; -f1`
if [ &quot;$wrk1&quot; = &quot;STARTUP&quot; ]
then
let startup_count=startup_count+1
fi

if [[ &quot;$line&quot; = &quot;;&quot; ]] && [[ &quot;$startup_count&quot; -gt 1 ]]
then
echo &quot;;&quot; >> $2
exit 0
fi

if [ &quot;$startup_count&quot; -gt 1 ]
then
echo &quot;$line&quot; >> $2
else
continue
fi
done < $1

exit 0

that script is pretty nice but i never saw a need to do that. using vi i just do '/^CREA' to find the first line to modify. i change it apropriately and delete everything above it using 'd1G' (or 'dgg' in vim). then i '/RESETLOGS' and 'dG' to clip the bottom. basically, the part of the file i am interested in lies in the middle.

Yegolev: But that's a manual method, isn't it? I needed to do this in a script.
