Thanks for the suggestion. Here's an update of my code:
Code:
sqlplus user/password@SID <<selectupdate >  selectupdate.txt
  set heading  off
  spool  selectupdateX.txt
   @<select_script>.sql;
spool  off
 selectupdate

With this, I don't get the update statements from the select script, just some useless information (well, useless to me). I was hoping that either selectupdate.txt or selectupdateX.txt would produce a file like...
update table set column = something
udpate table2 set column = something
The select statement I created does this when running via sqlDeveloper. Hope that makes sense? Smilie
Any help is appreciated! In the meantime I'll keep playing with the script.
Cheers,
Gary

Ach, sorry for the bad formatting there.

Update -

So my latest version...

Code:
X= 'sqlplus -r u/p@sid  <<selectupdate
   spool  selectupdateX.txt
    @<script>.sql;
 selectupdate'
 
  echo $X >  selectupdateY.txt

And this produces the following error...

Code:
-bash: sqlplus -r u/p@sid  <<selectupdate
 spool  selectupdateX.txt
    @scrambler_SELECT_UPDATE_V0.4.sql;
 selectupdate: No such file or  directory

Any idea why this error is caused? Smilie

Cheers
