David - If the file is in just the format you show, my first impulse would
be to use the perl script language to get it into a form that sqlldr could
easily read. Perl is available on all platforms, including Windows. If you
get ambitious, Perl can even directly insert the values into Oracle. Jared
Still, the manager of this list has just published a book on that aspect.
