HI Gersh99,

Thank you again for the prompt reply and it working fine and working much faster to my code(which I mentioned in the 1st post).
Nawk is something new to me, searched in the beginners unix book (by wrox) nothing much available.

Please correct me if Im worng :
The code is taking 'space' as the space separator.
and if the file is somewhat like this :

Code:
sjhgfjhgdfs ora-0001 kjhsf 098j 97h
suiy23vb jhf8 ora-0001
jkhsdkj 98798 error:ora-0001 uif987

then am getting the output not as ora-0001 : 3 but as

Code:
ora-0001 : 2
error:ora-0001 : 1

is there anyway i can extract only words starting with ora-
