This may not be just a case of getting a script from a bulletin board...
If you're using Oracle 8, then things shouldn't be too bad, but in any case you're looking at an ODBC link.
Create an ODBC link for the Informix Database that's visible from the Oracle server.
Create a database link in the Oracle database that points to the Informix ODBC link.
Then you can use standard INSERT INTO, or whatever to transport data into the Oracle Database.
It sounds easy, although it can be quite a hair-tearing exercise.
Sorry if I'm overcomplicating things, but this is the only method I personally know of. It might also be worthwhile asking Informix people the same question... pushing from there might be easier (that's certainly the case from Microsoft Access ;) )

Sorry, no I can't
I'm not familiar with informix so can't help you with output...
Though to get the data into Oracle from a generic format flat file you can try looking towards:
UTL_FILE supplied package:
http://otn.oracle.com/doc/server.804/a58241/ch8.htm#1939
Or, the SQL Loader manual (which may not be appropriate for a nightly process, though not being a SQL Loader kinda guy, I wouldn't be sure on that).
Sorry I can't help any more than that
Rob
