From SQL*plus I can execute "$dir c:*.* > files.txt".
Is it possible to do this within a stored procedure?

For executing OS command from PL/SQL,
Step 1: Write pl/sql program what sends commands to oracle shared memory by using DBMS_PIPE.PACK_MESSAGE('command') and DBMS_PIPE.SEND_MESSAGE('pipe').
step 2: write one pro*c program which recieves this command by
DBMS_PIPE.RECIEVE_MESSAGE('pipe') and DBMS_PIPE.UNPACK_MESSAGE('command').
write execute(command) in this program.
STEP 3: compile pro*c program and run in back end as detached process in loop.
step 4: run pl/sql and send message to pro*c and it will execute.
Just try, it must work. Give me feedback.
