Oracle 11g script read from file in where clause (RHEL 5.7)

Hi everyone,
Simple question.
I have a comma-delimited file, aux.txt, with the following contents (all in one line):

Code:

'value1','value2','value3',...,'valueN'

I would like to know if there's a way I can use that file inside a sql script in a where clause, like so:

Code:

select myfield1 from mytable
where myfield2 IN ('value1','value2','value3',...,'valueN')

This works if I hard code the values 'value1','value2','value3',...,'valueN' into the script. But the contents of the file aux.txt will be changing over time, so I'm looking for a way to read its contents directly into the script.
I read here that doing this would do, but it didn't work:

Code:

select myfield1 from mytable
where myfield2 IN 
(
@aux.txt
)

I have also tried to include the absolute path to aux.txt, but to no use.
When I run this query, I get the following error: ORA-00936: Missing Expression.
Any ideas or hints will be more than appreciated.

GAPPLETVIEWER(1)                                                        GNU                                                       GAPPLETVIEWER(1)

NAME

       gappletviewer - Load and runs an applet

SYNOPSIS

       appletviewer [OPTION]... URL...

       appletviewer [OPTION]... -code CODE

       appletviewer [OPTION]... -plugin INPUT,OUTPUT

DESCRIPTION

       The appletviewer tool loads and runs an applet.

       Use the first form to test applets specified by tag.  The URL should resolve to an HTML document from which the appletviewer will extract
       applet tags.  The APPLET, EMBED and OBJECT tags are supported.  If a given document contains multiple applet tags, all the applets will be
       loaded, with each applet appearing in its own window.  Likewise, when multiple URLs are specified, each applet tag instance is given its
       own window.  If a given document contains no recognized tags the appletviewer does nothing.

               appletviewer http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/

       Use the second form to test an applet in development.  This form allows applet tag attributes to be supplied on the command line.  Only one
       applet may be specified using the -code option.  The -code option overrides the URL form -- any URLs specified will be ignored.

               appletviewer -code Test.class -param datafile,data.txt

       gcjwebplugin uses the third form to communicate with the appletviewer through named pipes.

       PLUGIN OPTION

           gcjwebplugin uses the -plugin option to specify the named pipe the appletviewer should use for receiving commands (INPUT) and the one
           it should use for sending commands to gcjwebplugin (OUTPUT).
