I have asked this question before, but it was misunderstood, so thats why I am posting it again!

I have a flat file which I want to process and insert in oracle database tables.

Every record in the file start with REC>,

something like:

number varchar2(4000) number

REC> 123 hello 456

REC> 124 "hello this is a long string, and that's why a    carriage  /CR return is used" 678

REC>

Is it possible to let sql loader know that it should ignore everything between " and " , because it is just a string and that the next record is the line which starts with REC>

I have read some documentation and this problem can be solved with logical and physical records using the CONTINUEIF statement, but till now I was not very succesfull.

Anyone had the same problem and knows the solution?

 

Thanks
