You can easily do this b spooling your result to text file from sql codes.
If this could mean what you want, then try it:

spool result.txt
<select ...... from .... >
spool off;

set feedback off trimspool on 
spool file_name.txt;
select * from table_name;
spool off;
exit;
EOF

Without spool.

Sql:
Code:
set linesize 2000 trims on  pagesize 0 feedback off
select * from global_name;
exit

Call:
Code:
sqlplus -s $dbstring @your.sql 2>&1 >> result.txt
