Echo with grep command and concatenation

[Leo The Cat]

Hi Guys


In my script this.

echo $VX "Errors: "
echo "$spout" | grep -i "ORA-"

The result is (Example)
TEST1DB Failed
ORA-01109: database not open


How to have this on the same line and including "(" ")":

TEST1DB Failed (ORA-01109: database not open)

Any idea ?

To get the results all on the same line:

echo $VX "Errors: \c"
echo $spout" | grep -i "ORA-"

As for the parentheses, if they are in the string you are grepping for, they should be included.

Hi Den:

Given:

# VX="TEST1DB Failed"
# spout="ORA-01109: database not open"

Then:

# printf "%s (%s)\n" "$VX" "$spout"
TEST1DB Failed (ORA-01109: database not open)

Regards!
