Thanks from me too Zaxxon. I use '-e' quite a bit, because I usually have more than one pattern to find, but that's not the OP's requirements. Good catch on the trailing '.' and ':' and a big "D'oh!" from me for forgetting the input file! ;-)

The '-n' and 'p' though I felt were needed since the OP was going through an oracle alert log, which usually contain lines other than those the OP "grep'ed" out of them.

So in order to simply process the whole alertlog and not have to pre "grep" it I figured I'd toss in the '-n' to hold off printing and the 'p' to print only that which fit the pattern to the newfile.

Unfortunately in my rush I didn't state what I was hoping to perform.
