Why? The sqlldr "data=" command line parameter overrides the INFILE parameter. Also, you can simply remove it from the file altogether using vi.

But if you are really want to do it the way that you described, you can use sed.

Code:
sed -e "s/\(INFILE \).*/\1'newfile.csv'/" yourcontrolfile.ctl > newcontrolfile.ctl

or more specifically:
Code:
sed -e "s/\(INFILE \).*/\1'${YOURVARIABLE}'/" yourcontrolfile.ctl > newcontrolfile.ctl
