Removing unnecessary eol ($) character from Oracle sql query output
Hi All,

I am fetching oracle query result in shell variable. As columns numbers are more the output wraps in unix terminal .i.e one complete record in db gets store in multiple lines. with each line ends with $ character. I want to remove these unnecessary $ character but to keep required $ character at the end of record.

I have set following set option in oracle query
Code:
  set feedback off
	set linesize 1800
	set colsep '|'
	set pagesize 0
	set trimout on
	COL ORIGINTYPE FORMAT A15
	COL ORGNAME FORMAT A10
	COL USERNAME FORMAT A12
	COL LOCATION FORMAT A20
	COL OBJECTTYPE FORMAT A45 
	COL TIMEOFACTION FORMAT A20
	COL CATEGORYCODE FORMAT A16
	COL OBJECTNAME FORMAT A500
	COL RESULT FORMAT A20
	COL ACTION FORMAT A500
        COL ADDITION FORMAT A500

Shell - sh
OS- HP-UX
Oracle - Oracle 9i

Any help is appreciated.

suppose db record is like
Code:
aa|bb|cc|dd|ee|ff|gg|hh|ii|jj|kk

but my output has $ in between where I have given large format space for column.
Code:
aa|bb|cc|$
dd|ee|ff|gg|$
hh|ii|jj|kk|$
$

I hope this will help to understand.
