One very UGLY & BRUTE FORCE effective way would be precreate table with wrong columns then imp ignore=yes

The result would be lots of errors, but no data loaded; effectively skipping the table.

This is not possible unless using a brute force way like BlackSwan one or a hack on Oracle tables that you can find on the web.

If there aren't many tables in export file, you could try with TABLES parameter: name all but the one you don't want ("tab4", for example):

imp un/pw file=export.dmp tables=(tab1, tab2, tab3, tab5)

Or, why wouldn't you import all tables, and then drop the one you don't need?

os> imp un/pw file=export.dmp
sql> drop table tab4;

I am guessing it is huge and user doesn't want to waste the time or not have the space to accommodate the import.
