How to call SQL Loader in shell script?

HI Experts,

I am pretty new to scripting and i need to create a perl or shell script which should fetch a file from local directory and insert the data into a table using sql loader. This will be later added to chron job to run daily and fetch all files and load them into
the table.

Also i need the insert the file name as a value in a column while loading data. If any of you actually worked on this kind of task please help me.


This is what i need to do



file: FILE_NAME.txt



Code:
CODE         DATE
1234        01012015
1345        01012015
3456        01012015


after loading the date the table should look like this


Code:
CODE     DATE         FILE_NAME
1234     01012015     file_name.txt
1345     01012015     file_name.txt
3456     01012015     file_name.txt

we need to store this file name because there will be multiple files being placed in that location and
each file has different functionality. Please help me.
