Sed Question

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
Is there any way to traverse the file once and look for the following conditions in one sweep instead of going over the file 3 times with different search criteria......
sed -n '/^ORA-07445/ p' /tmp/t$$ > ${OERRFILE}
sed -n '/^ORA-00600/ p' /tmp/t$$ >> ${OERRFILE}
sed -n '/^Error/ p' /tmp/t$$ >> ${OERRFILE}
Thanks
YS

I may be way off, but you could use egrep (or sometimes grep -E) for what you're trying to do:

egrep "^(ORA-07445|ORA-00600|Error)" /tmp/t$$ >${OERRFILE}

Or you could use 'sed -e "blah" -e "blah" -e "blah"'. Check your local man pages to be sure.
