Loading data in DB from a variety of sources

Hi everybody,

I need to load data into the database(Oracle 9i,Release2,OS-Win2k,Professional) from a variety of sources like .txt,.mdb(Access),.xls(Excel) etc.I have thought of using sqlldr for the job but I have to embed a lot of programming logic depending on which data will be loaded.

     Can I embed programming logic(through PL/SQL) while using sqlldr?Are there any built-in packages which can help me in reading these kind of files and load data in the tables in the database

thanks,
