Hello...

I am trying to dynamically create a control file within a shell script to load data files using sql loader. control file is being created. problem comes when searching folder for data files. all data files have extension .dat. for recursively scanning directory im using the following:

for V_DATA_FILE IN 'ls -1 $V_DATA_DIR'
do

but this is not working. intention is to load all the files in the directory using control file. does anyone know how to do this.

>this is not working
Your problem statement is not working.
My car is not working.
Please tell me how to make my car go.
Alternatively, you might be able to use the "find" command.

it's not clear to me if wildcards work or not - but you can load 1 at a time...

$ sqlldr / t data=`ls -tr PDNL*.dat | tail -1`
