    D:\APP\DNALLURI\DILPROD\UNDOTBS01.DBF
    D:\APP\DNALLURI\DILPROD\USERS01.DBF

    SQL> spool off;
    SQL> !cat dil.txt
    SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "!cat dil.t..." - rest of line ignored.

    Exit sqlplus and just edit, view, notepad or whatever you want to do to you dil.txt file - this is just a file at O/S level.
