Interactive scripts for Oracle
Hello friends,

I am a ORACLE user, we have some internal database file, lets say "demo.config" and an internal tool to patch this file....lets call that tool as "dbfixer".
We have 100's-1000's of such files "demo.config" which need to get patched by the tool. So we need to write a script ...
syntax is...

"dbfixer - c demo.config"

But this tool works in interactive mode....if I run this tool with a input file it asks me "do you really want to continue?" then I need to enter Y or N every-time it run...
So I am confused here how to script this provided that I always want ans "Y"?

So what I need is...a scipt/command where I can also specify this ans "Y" in shell/command itself.

Thanks,
Jenny
