Don Cragun told you already how you do select the correct lines. Here is how they are put into a variable:

Code:
typeset VARAIABLE=""

grep '^ORA' /path/to/file |\
while read VARIABLE ; do
     echo "this is the line: >${VARIABLE}<"
done

replace the read-statement with whatever you want to do with the variable.

I hope this helps.

updatedb.conf

updatedb.conf(5)						File Formats Manual						  updatedb.conf(5)

NAME

       /etc/updatedb.conf - a configuration file for updatedb(8)

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/updatedb.conf is a text file.  Blank lines are ignored.  A # character outside of a quoted string starts a comment extending until end
       of line.

       Other lines must be of the following form:
	      VARIABLE = "VALUE"

       White space between tokens is ignored.  VARIABLE is an alphanumeric string which does not start with a digit.  VALUE can contain any  char-
       acter except for ".  No escape mechanism is supported within VALUE and there is no way to write VALUE spanning more than one line.

       Unknown VARIABLE values are considered an error.  The defined variables are:

       PRUNEFS
	      A whitespace-separated list of file system types (as used in /etc/mtab) which should not be scanned by updatedb(8).  The file system
	      type matching is case-insensitive.  By default, no file system types are skipped.

	      When scanning a file system is skipped, all file systems mounted in the subtree are skipped too, even if their type does	not  match
	      any entry in PRUNEFS.

       PRUNENAMES
	      A whitespace-separated list of directory names (without paths) which should not be scanned by updatedb(8).  By default, no directory
	      names are skipped.

	      Note that only directories can be specified, and no pattern mechanism (e.g.  globbing) is used.

       PRUNEPATHS
	      A whitespace-separated list of path names of directories which should not be scanned by updatedb(8).  Each path name must be exactly
	      in the form in which the directory would be reported by locate(1).

	      By default, no paths are skipped.

       PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS
	      One of the strings 0, no, 1 or yes.  If PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS is 1 or yes, bind mounts are not scanned by updatedb(8).  All file systems
	      mounted in the subtree of a bind mount are skipped as well, even if they are not bind mounts.  As an exception,  bind  mounts  of  a
	      directory on itself are not skipped.

	      By default, bind mounts are not skipped.

NOTES

       When a directory is matched by PRUNEFS, PRUNENAMES or PRUNEPATHS, updatedb(8) does not scan the contents of the directory.  The path of the
       directory itself is, however, entered in the created database.  For example, if /tmp is in PRUNEPATHS, locate(1) will not  show	any  files
       stored in /tmp, but it can show the /tmp directory.  This behavior differs from traditional locate implementations.

       In some updatedb(8) implementations PRUNEPATHS can be used to exclude non-directory files.  This is not the case in this implementation.

       /etc/updatedb.conf  is  a  shell  script in some implementations, which allows much more flexibility in defining the variables.	Equivalent
       functionality can be achieved by using the command-line options to updatedb(8).
