How to find=grep or maybe sed/awk for multiple lines of text?
Hi,

I am running the following:

Code:
PASS="username/password"
sqlplus -s << EOF | grep -v "^$"
$PASS
set feedback off
set heading off
set termout off
select name from v\$database ;
exit
EOF

Which gives

Code:
ERROR:
ORA-28002: the password will expire within 5 days
PSMP1

Can anyone advise how I can grep -v the first two lines? Basically I only want to exclude both lines if and only ORA-28002 is the ORA- error encountered. The ERROR: line seems to always precede ORA-28002.

At the moment, it works doing grep -v "^ORA-28002: the password will expire" | grep -v "^ERROR:", but just want to know if there is a shorter option.

Thanks in advance.

passwd.nntp

PASSWD.NNTP(5)						    InterNetNews Documentation						    PASSWD.NNTP(5)

NAME

       passwd.nntp - Passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers

DESCRIPTION

       The file pathetc/passwd.nntp contains host / name / password triplets for use when authenticating client programs to NNTP servers.  This
       file is normally interpreted by NNTPsendpassword() in libinn(3).  Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign ("#") are ignored.
       All other lines should consist of three or four fields separated by colons:

	   host:name:password
	   host:name:password:style

       The first field is the name of a host, and is matched in a case-insensitive manner.  (No detailed matching, such as comparing IP addresses,
       is done.)

       The second field is a user name, and the third is a password.  If either the username or password is empty, then that portion of the
       authentication will not occur.  (For example, a server may require only a username, in which case the password is not necessary.  Note that
       a username is mandatory with AUTHINFO USER/PASS.)

       The optional fourth field specifies the type of authentication to use.  At present, the only recognized "authentication style" is
       "authinfo"; this is also the default.  It means that AUTHINFO USER/PASS commands are used to authenticate to the remote host.  (These NNTP
       commands are described in RFC 4643.)

       For example:

	   ##  UUNET needs a password, MIT doesn't.
	   mit.edu:bbn::authinfo
	   uunet.uu.net:bbn:yoyoma:authinfo

       This file should not be world-readable.
