But, perhaps something like this #!/bin/sh for log in /u01...../udump/* do egrep -e 'ORA-00600|ORA-04031|ORA-07445' ${log} done this will find any line matching any of the ORA- keys. You can capture the return code if you wish. Output of egrep could be passed to wc to echo instead a count of the errors. Filenames could be produced, too, with a bit more scripting, which you can obviously handle. Dave -- The principles of accounting are not arbitrary.
