Got it, I had steal it from another forum, but I knew it was possible Smilie

I always struggle with grep'ing on linenumbers, but there is a very easy function from AWK :

JOB_ID=`awk 'NR>=8 && NR<=9 && /[[0-9]]*/ {print}' ${SQL_LOG}`

NR>=8 Means that linenumber must be above 8
/[[0-9]]* Means that it should match the characters 0123456789

I think it's quiet clear, if you don't make it to understand, please let me know.
