Hi,
I need to load some data using SQLLDR. It is a .txt file tab delimited data and the data file may contain tab within column data. Cld anyone suggest how it can be loaded? Thanks.
e.g. 
EmpID EmpName EmpAdd1 EmpAdd2
1000 SAM KING SUITE 5 JOHNSON CITY TX
where EmpId = 1000
EmpName SAM KING(tab separated)
EmpAdd1 SUITE 5 JOHNSON CITY (tab separated)
Emp Add2 TX

Please use CODE tags and properly format the post/sample data.
In control file use

You cannot properly load data where the delimiter is used within the values, unless you have some enclosure characters. You need to obtain your data in a better format, where the delimiter is something that is not used within the column values or where there are enclosing characters such as double quotes.
