concatenate variables problem

Hello,

I have a tricky problem:

I have a $file with a variable number of occurrences of "ORA-" (in this case two)
Code:
..........
EXP-00008: ORACLE error 3113 encountered
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
EXP-00056: ORACLE error 1403 encountered
ORA-01403: no data found
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
...........

I want to extract the lines with "ORA-", concatenate and put them in a variable, delimited by "; " (Ex: myvar=ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel; ORA-01403: no data found)[

I tried with a script like:
Code:
x=1
while [ $x -le $nrerr ]
do
   if [ $x -ne $nrerr ]; then
         myvar=$err`grep "ORA-" $file| sed -n "$x"p`";"
    else
         myvar=$err`grep "ORA-" $file | sed -n "$x"p`
     fi
     x=$(( $x + 1 ))
done

But the weird thing: it's overwriting my first value in $myvar:
Ex:
Code:
$ myvar = `grep "ORA-" $file | sed -n 2p`
$ echo $myvar
ORA-01403: no data found
$ echo $var"THE END"
THE END03: no data found

Smilie

Thank you.

Template::Plugin::Dumper(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Template::Plugin::Dumper(3pm)

NAME
Template::Plugin::Dumper - Plugin interface to Data::Dumper SYNOPSIS
[% USE Dumper %] [% Dumper.dump(variable) %] [% Dumper.dump_html(variable) %] DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the Data::Dumper module. A "Dumper" object will be instantiated via the following directive: [% USE Dumper %] As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case: [% USE dumper %] The "Data::Dumper" "Pad", "Indent" and "Varname" options are supported as constructor arguments to affect the output generated. See Data::Dumper for further details. [% USE dumper(Indent=0, Pad="<br>") %] These options can also be specified in lower case. [% USE dumper(indent=0, pad="<br>") %] METHODS
There are two methods supported by the "Dumper" object. Each will output into the template the contents of the variables passed to the object method. dump() Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed [% USE Dumper %] [% Dumper.dump(myvar) %] [% Dumper.dump(myvar, yourvar) %] dump_html() Generates a dump of the data structures, as per dump(), but with the characters <, > and & converted to their equivalent HTML entities and newlines converted to <br>. [% USE Dumper %] [% Dumper.dump_html(myvar) %] AUTHOR
