Hello sang8g,

Not sure if I understand requirement completely but why should a tnsnames(actual file name for oracle) or test.prp file will NOT have complete pair of ) braces at first place. If still that is correct entry then could you please be more clear in your requirement because in my first post I have suggested one awk solution which can help you if you only want to remove character ) and get the values.


Thanks,
R. Singh
