Is there anyway of eliminating duplicate entries as the database loads data using SQLLDR and/or .ctl (Control File)?

I use the following command line using SQLLDR and a control file to load my data, but the sample.dat file has duplicate information. I would like to be able to eliminate this, since I have know ability to manipulate the sample.dat. ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlldr $USERPW /home/sample/sample.ctl

############# sample.ctl ############### OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/sample/sample.dat'
truncate
INTO TABLE SAMPLE
(

       NAME     position(01:32) char,
       EMAIL    position(33:65) char

)
