What are some of the scripting tools commonly used in the industry?
You need to start with what OS and version of Oracle you are using. Mostly the OS though. You should also mention any scripting tools that you have already used. However, if you use Linux or a more recent version of Unix, then you should start by learning Bash. You can do just about anything that you want with Bash. If there is something specific that Bash doesn't give you then there is either a Perl "one-liner" that you can find from Google, or a Perl library with numerous code examples.Quote:

Cygwin is not as good as Bash, but it allows you to do things that you can't do without Bash. With Cygwin utilities you need to use the Cygwin directory structure shown below. pwd is the command to show the current path.
C:\Windows\system32>pwd
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32
Then you need to look at other peoples code, try to understand all of the Linux commands and try writing your own scripts.
Just don't start with writing scripts that do destructive things like delete, move files, etc. And find, grep, sed and awk are
your friends use them often.
