without the back ticks it didn't work, so thanks go to the Smiling Dragon for helping out and thanks joeyg for the attempt. However, it still doesn't work, I get the following as a result:
There is no quotation mark present in the sqlplus.out file, though I decided to vi the file and found that there is a ^M character at the end of each line. I should let you know that this is a unix emulator on a windows server. Another thing to mention is that the result in the sqlplus.out file does not start at the first character, sqlplus right justifies the value with the field header - for whatever reason the unix.com forum interface put it to the left. Thanks again for the assistance!
