Hello all,
I have what I hope is a simple question. I am spooling results into a
unix file which I later read back into the script. How do I get rid of
the sql syntax that is still in the spool file? I need to read only the
file_name on the bottom. I had a bunch of set commands prior to the
spool but it showed up anyway.

Here is the spool file:
SQL> select file_name from sys.dba_data_files union
2 select name from v$controlfile union
3 select member from v$logfile union
4 select p.value||LOWER('/alert_'||d.name)||'.log'
5 from v$parameter p, v$database d
6 where p.name='background_dump_dest'
7 order by 1;

FILE_NAME
