You can't do it in SQL*Loader.
You can do it in shell from the output of a SQL*Plus script.

Sorry for not giving the exact requirement. Sorry I am new to SQL LOADER..!!!
There is already a well defined control file available for my SQL LOADER where i need to do some modification on the control file in such a way that it would get the INFILE path from DBA_DIRECTORIES table. Can we do that..???!

Michel, Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you mean...that i should write a Wrapper in Shell which would inturn call SQL-LOADER and pass on the o/p of SQL SELECT statement agaist DBA_Directories. Could you help me in refering some examples pls.

Thanks in advance.

There are many scripts in this forum and in Unix and Windows ones depending on your OS.
