11g spfile line breaks

edited Jan 26, 2010 12:08AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 15 commentsAnswered
 When we use the linux 'strings' command to parse strings out of the database spfile, there are line breaks.  This is affecting some of our monitoring scripts.
We understand that the spfile is a binary file, and Oracle is not going to support the use of the Lnux 'strings' command. 
But prior to 11G the line breaks did not exist in the spfile, so the behavior has changed.  Can you tell me why?  Is there something I can do to avoid this?  Certainly other customers must have noticed this. 

Appreciate the others help on this.

Howdy, Stranger!
