I know Cygwin, but our Windows admins don't like that :-(

You can install Cygwin on Windows and use a bash shell in that. http://www.cygwin.com/ Cheers, Norm. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l

Nigel Thomas: Really, why not Perl? It is included on many Oracle distributions (See ORAFAQ ) so you can sidestep your Windows admins. It really isn't as complicated as all that! Just different... There is lots of information available via google - and a nod to Jared Still, who has written this up in much more detail than I ever could. Regards Nigel -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
Jeremy Schneider: I would second this actually... there's a small learning curve to perl but it's really very easy to get started with basic stuff - and I think you'll find it a very worthwhile investment of your time. Basic scripts are just about as simple as bash, but there's lots more room for growth... and your code will run literally anywhere. :) -Jeremy -- http://www.ardentperf.com +1 312-725-9249 Jeremy Schneider Chicago -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
