Humm, Looks like someone could use a review of the SQL*Plus command reference: SET SQLBL[ANKLINES] {ON | OFF} This ends that problem.

Iwas referring to ones who might use MSWord, Text editors and Excelspreadsheetsto create SQL that could be easily generated inside SQL Plus. When Ipicturethese folks, I would never consider just throwing them into the deepend of thepool with RE's and say, "Swim!" :)If there is one thing that drives me nuts with that mob - and the Toad/sqldeveloper one as well - it's the blank lines in between a single SQL statement: guaranteed to screw up a long script when run from SQL*Plus... I now run a vim macro through every script originating from that stable!
