From: Eriovaldo Andrietta <ecandrietta@xxxxxxxxx> To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 10/7/'11, 17:25 Hi friends, I generated a file using imp / indexfile in order to know objects inside the .dmp. Then I saw that the initial value is too big to import it. How can I do an awk code in order to change the folloing string : from INITIAL 52428800 FREELISTS to INITIAL 8124 FREELISTS Note: in the indexfile has a lot of initial values different, so the awk must consider different values. I have this one, but I don't know how to get and change the old value (the next word after the word "INITIAL". Look: cat lista1 | awk '{ sub(/INITIAL/, "INITIAL 8124"); print }' Best Regards Eriovaldo
