Hi ss,

I'm not that familiar with oracle or sqlplus but if its the line with 'spool off' you don't want (or whatever line you don't want) to be in the output file then you may want to consider manipulating the output file a little like using sed to remove unnecessary lines

You might get by via piping the output to "tail -n +2". Increase 2 to some number if your SQL query takes up multiple lines.

Have you tried using 'SET TERMOUT OFF' in your SQL?

(e.g.)
$ cat mysql.sql
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TERMOUT OFF
SPOOL testout.txt
SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL
/

From the SQLPLUS documentation:
Code:
SET TERMOUT

SET TERMOUT OFF suppresses the display so that
you can spool output from a script without seeing it on the screen.

If both spooling to file and writing to terminal are not required,
use SET TERMOUT OFF in SQL scripts to disable terminal output.
